Hey all,
I would request someone to please help me with the following issue.
I have got honda jazz 2006 CVT with 68000 miles (recently bought at 63000 miles). When I start and drive the car, the coolant temperature light is green which is perfectly fine as the engine is cold and there is no noise during this time. As soon as this light goes off (i.e. when engine is at normal operating temperature), I notice a tick tick (cricket metallic clicking) noise while accelerating and putting my foot on gas pedal. The harder I press the gas pedal, the ticking speed increase. This noise is noticeable from both inside and outside of the car and it feels it is coming from nearside lower front end. After 5 to 10mins of high rev driving, the noise goes away. This noise only comes when accelerating and does not come when car is standing.
Mechanic also failed to diagnose this. I feel that it might be coming from some component which is directly affected by temperature?
Tried putting high octane fuel, fuel injector cleaner and oil additive but nothing changed.
Please help
Thanks
