Chuffing noise from Engine area
Question:
For the past few thousand k’s, the Barina has been making a farting noise, a chuffing noise, sort of like if you press your lips together and the blow… yes, like your blowing a raspberry.
It’s coming from the D/S area of the engine, most audible through the D/S front wheel.
Have had the timing belt and water pump done…. Twice… (The first water pump lasted 1400k’s…
It did go away after the water pumps were changed over, but came back very quickly. Only does it when hot.
Did it before the water pump was changed the first time (it was leaking). Apparently it’s not an exhaust leak, but that is exactly what it sounds like.
Answer:
sounds very similar to what i had…ive been told that it could be the oil pump. the sound started happening after the water pump was changed the 2nd time around.
