So yesterday (the first 70+ day we've had this year) I noticed that my car was making a strange noise.
It was doing it the worst when accelerating, and the harder the acceleration the louder it got. While doing a very light take off with the clutch it is still heard but very little. When it cooled down later I drove it and could just barely hear it.
At home I popped the hood and listened for it while revving the engine a little but couldn't identify it. I did hear a clicking coming from just over the transmission by the intake, and a very light noise from the timing belt, which was done 10k ago.
The noise sounds like it is metal hitting or rubbing on something else. The car still runs fine and seems normal.
The only thing that I can think of it is the clutch or one of the bearings associated. It chatters quite a lot and I know that it hasn't been done.
What do you guys think it is?
