I had an issue a while back I'd heard a tapping/clicking sound coming from the engine on my 2009 S 1.8 manual when it was cool outside. This started about a year after I'd bought it. First winter (Florida lol) the car was perfect. The second winter, from then on it taps/knocks when cold. The engine still makes the same sound when cool but also at times when it's warm out even if it's been.. heated up and driven. The sound is intermittent and isn't usually all that loud but I do hear it clicking which to be honest does worry me.
A new sound has cropped up just recently, when accelerating I hear a rattle or like something is vibrating up front. Almost like the sound of something stuck against a fan and flapping/vibrating if that makes any sense. I don't feel anything but I can hear it when I move forward. I hear it in all gears, even if the clutch is engaged. I hear it when coasting I put the car in neutral and still hear it. I do not at least not yet, don't hear it when stopped. AC on or off sound is still there. All service (minus new tires) have been done by the same dealer.
I plan to take it but thought I'd pick the brains of those on here before I do. When I bought the car it was near silent and it still is most of the time I'm just concerned if I hear anything out of the normal that hangs around too long. Last time I put new tires on a car with a tapping engine the engine died lol.
