I recently noticed that my Vauxhall Mokka is making a strange noise when I let it idle. It's not very loud, but it's noticeable and I'm wondering if it's something I should be concerned about. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
ReplyHi Maria, there could be a few different reasons for that noise. It's always a good idea to get it checked out by a mechanic just in case. One possible cause could be a loose belt, which can create a whining or squealing noise. Another possibility could be a problem with the exhaust system, which can cause a rattling or rumbling noise. It's better to be safe than sorry, so I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis.
Hi Maria, I had a similar issue with my Mokka and it turned out to be a faulty idle control valve. This can cause a buzzing or humming noise. It's a fairly easy and inexpensive fix, so again, I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to have it checked out.
Hi Maria, I've also experienced a strange noise while idling in my Mokka. In my case, it was due to a dirty air filter which was causing the engine to work harder than it should. I would suggest checking and replacing the air filter if needed. This should help reduce the noise and improve your car's performance.
