Deckbuild 6th Gear May 4, 2016 Author Share May 4, 2016 Not engine mount and not knocking. Engine mount gave way will give bad vibration. Car can run at very low octane. Prius C No error code. Need to get it checked soon. Thanks for all the reply, more input welcome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckbuild 6th Gear May 4, 2016 Author Share May 4, 2016 Those that drive manual should know how it sound like, when you upshift at too low rpm, you will experience this clattering or clicking sound. bro, was the sound like those much older cars, when accel, have a valve clatter or some similar sounds.? that said, mayb u can rev harder so gear will kickdown, or was it becos gear not decisive anymore / enuf?

Bro, car running on cvt The sound quite faint ignition timing run or vvt cam? mayb chain need tension? or tensioner? valve clearance? i realized a number of those older cars have such issues.. for my case, only early morning or after few hrs start engine will have clatter for about half a minute..

Fuelsaver Supercharged May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 your clatter is timing chain?ad, mine is still usin timing chain; i suspect my issue was due to valve clearance, wc i dunno any ws, beside AD, that could do it, so i just leave it. anyway, car still smooth n quiet at expressway speeds.

Kippei 3rd Gear May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 (edited) I know what you talking about. I also have this. on load high speed but light acceleration pedal. It some sort of engine pinging very commonly on Toyota and Hyundai Engine. I try all method but now i using Lucas Fuel treatment to see if it solve the problem. But it a combination of many issue that i managed to minimise to a slight rattle till now My PCSV is jammed creating a vacuum leak, my spark plug losing compression, The next step will to take out the OCV and do a cleanup and test the valve. The rattle will occur during a VVT timing retard so tml i will connect the OBD to see whether it is true. IF so i will clean up the OCV Edited May 4, 2016 by Kippei 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you go work shop pump 98 to see it is still occurring. Next buy 2 bottle of Redline SL1 to pour into your fuel tank 1 bottle per full tank.
