I experience a clicking engine noise Fiat 500 L
In case you note a clicking engine noise on your Fiat 500 L, and that this noise is close to a click, you will have to discern 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 experience a clicking noise coming from my high engine
If you experience an engine noise on Fiat 500 L, and this noise is located at the top of the engine, it means that it is located at your cylinder head and accompanying parts. Two parts can be the origins of these engine noises on Fiat 500 L. Either the hydraulic pushers, generally it is because of their faulty “hydraulic catch-up” system that we will experience 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 such a case, consider changing them.
I experience a noise coming from the bottom engine of my Fiat 500 L
If you have located the region of origin of engine noise on Fiat 500 L that comes from your low engine, it may be that your rods or piston shafts are the triggers. In both circumstances, the long-term risk is engine failure. These two repairs are very difficult and most mechanics will advise you to change the motor of your Fiat 500 L.
I experience an engine clicking noise on Fiat 500 L coming from combustion
Finally, if you think that this clicking noise is associated with the combustion of your engine, there are three possible triggers of it. Verify the state 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 control the timing of the various engine parts to provide good combustion. And finally, the most classic cause, comes from your injection, which is either blocked or one or more injectors is injured. In this case, do not be reluctant to refer to this content page which deals in detail with the several injector noises on Fiat 500 L.
Hissing noise / engine friction Fiat 500 L
Engine noise Fiat 500 L 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 state and try to locate the exact origins of this noise by positioning someone at the engine at idle, and if this noise is more likely to happen in high rpm, accelerate and position someone at the engine block to identify the region of origin of the noise. The three parts whose bearings are often at the origin of these noises are the water pump, the injection pump and the oil pump.
Engine noise Fiat 500 L when releasing or depressing the clutch
In the case that you pay attention to engine noise on Fiat 500 L, but this noise appears mainly when you release or depress your clutch pedal, in this case it is very likely that your release bearing is worn. In fact, a worn release bearing will produce a noise close to a bell noise. To have more information about this noise and if you have managed to validate that the release bearing is indeed the reason of your problems, direction here, to find a complete file on release bearing sounds on Fiat 500 L.
Engine noise Fiat 500 L close to a friction
In case that you experience a motor noise on your Fiat 500 L, 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 source of your concerns.Often, we will start to experience a motor noise on Fiat 500 L, 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 issue. So bear in mind to check their state and go to your auto mechanic to change the parts in question. If you have been able to target the noise as coming from the belts and you want more details about it, read this content page on belt noise on Fiat 500 L for a complete guide.
Metal motor noise Fiat 500 L
In case that you experience an engine noise on Fiat 500 L and this noise is similar to metal noise, it is possible that this noise comes from your gearbox or clutch. In fact, a metallic noise in the engine block is often associated with damaged sprockets. Try to check that this noise comes from the transmission, if this is the case, quickly go to your 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 pass on roads in poor state. Verify the state of your silentblocks and change them if needed.
