  • CEL on, engine noise

    Hello,

    I was driving the Surf with no trouble until I stopped to drop off my mom. After a min of idling while I was talking to mom I noticed the engine sound changed dramatically. And then CEL came on. The car has this loud "diesel" tone to it. I'm sorry but since English is not my language I cant explain the sound well. The car just sounds like a big diesel truck. There is just a loud clank clank clank to it.

    I switched off the engine fearing something mechanical (things hitting each other). Then I started the engine and the noise was gone, and the CEL was gone too. Hesitating, I started crawling the car home and half way the noise came again and CEL was on too. I stopped, switched off the engine and started it again. Noise was gone, so was CEL.

    I got home after about 4 of the above scenarios. I can't really tell where the noise is coming from (just somewhere under the hood).

    Do you have any ideas guys?

      no, I haven't this morning. I checked it a week ago and it was a hair below the full mark and I put in about 1/4liters. I will check the levels when I get to the car.

      Edit:
      I checked it and level was spot on, but I don't like the oil. I'm not certain but I think its burnt. I'm going to put in a new oil.
