I listen a clicking engine noise Lexus GX
In case you experience a clicking engine noise on your Lexus GX, and that this noise is close to a click, you will have to find the origin location of it to be able to know the cause of it. You will need a mechanical stethoscope or a large screwdriver to locate the original area of these noises.
I listen a clicking noise coming from my high engine
If you listen an engine noise on Lexus GX, and this noise is located at the top of the engine, it means that it is located at your cylinder head and accompanying components. Two components can be the causes of these engine noises on Lexus GX. Either the hydraulic pushers, generally it is because of their faulty “hydraulic catch-up” system that we will listen these clicking noises, often when cold and disappears when hot. Otherwise, it is your the play of your rocker arms or their state of wear that is the issue. In cases like this, consider changing them.
I listen a noise coming from the bottom engine of my Lexus GX
If you have found the place of origin of engine noise on Lexus GX that comes from your low engine, it may be that your rods or piston shafts are the triggers. In both situations, the long-term risk is engine failure. These two fixes are very difficult and most mechanics will advise you to swap the motor of your Lexus GX.
I listen an engine clicking noise on Lexus GX coming from combustion
Finally, if you have the feeling that this clicking noise is associated with the combustion of your engine, there are three plausible triggers of it. Check the condition of your glow plugs which if worn can hinder the proper combustion of the fuel mixture. Then, your timing belt may be shifted and may poorly manage the timing of the various engine parts to promote good combustion. And finally, the most classic cause, comes from your injection, which is either obstructed or one or more injectors is damaged. In this case, do not be reluctant to read this content which deals in detail with the several injector noises on Lexus GX.
Hissing noise / engine friction Lexus GX
Engine noise Lexus GX close to a bearing
If it is close to a squeaking noise you may have one of the bearings of your engine accessory parts that are reached. So check the condition and try to find the exact origins of this noise by positioning someone at the engine at idle, and if this noise is more likely to show up in high rpm, accelerate and position someone at the engine block to find the location of origin of the noise. The three components whose bearings are often at the origin of these noises are the water pump, the injection pump and the oil pump.
Engine noise Lexus GX when releasing or depressing the clutch
In the case that you identify engine noise on Lexus GX, but this noise happens mainly when you release or depress your clutch pedal, in this instance it is very likely that your release bearing is worn. In fact, a worn release bearing will emit a noise close to a bell noise. To have more details about this noise and if you have managed to confirm that the release bearing is indeed the cause of your concerns, go here, to find a complete file on release bearing sounds on Lexus GX.
Engine noise Lexus GX close to a friction
In the event that you listen a motor noise on your Lexus GX, and, that this noise is close to a friction, it is likely that one of your belts or one of the parts that triggers it is the origin of your problems.Often, we will start to listen a motor noise on Lexus GX, close to a friction when one of the belts is worn out or when one of the related parts like your alternator, or your tensioner roller is the trouble. So keep in mind to check their condition and go to your motor mechanic to change the components in question. If you have been able to target the noise as coming from the belts and you want more information about it, have a look at this content on belt noise on Lexus GX for a complete guide.
Metal motor noise Lexus GX
In the event that you listen an engine noise on Lexus GX and this noise is similar to metal noise, it is plausible that this noise comes from your gearbox or clutch. In fact, a metallic noise in the engine block is often linked to damaged sprockets. Try to check that this noise comes from the transmission, if this is the case, fairly quickly go to your auto mechanic or you would get a break down. Finally, the second possibility is that your silent engine blocks or rubber mounts may be dead. This triggers a metallic noise each time your engine moves, either because of a change of pace (acceleration or braking) or, when you drive on roads in poor condition. Check the condition of your silentblocks and change them if needed.
