This sound is coming out of the oil pan and it is only when the car is on gear??
so i put it on 4th gear with the parking brake to hear the sound

Can it be the oil pump or the oil pump chain ?

please
:help

Thanks

Pull the pan immediately. Either your chain is slacked off or your timing chain is loose or you have bigger problems. I am hearing a knock. I would stop driving it until you look in there.

I don't think that it is the crankshaft
And it is not all the time.

Ok I will
Any more ideas ?

That is kinda low miles. There's no "load" on the engine till you put into gear. BTW be careful crawling under your car while its running ANDin gear (NOT safe) :eyecrazy

Pull the pan, its easy. As mentioned please be careful, jackstands need to be used.

Sent from my GS2, never while driving.

It doesn't matter what gear your in, your still crawling under a running car IN GEAR and rev'ing the engine:eek: All it takes is for the parking brake to slip and your gonna be HURT. :nono Nobody wants to hear of something bad happening

How do you know your tensioner needs replacing??

Could very well be the timing chain hitting the cover. Drop the oil and the pan real quick and report back. Now you got me curious with the noise only under load.

Is it ok if I open it on the weekend?
I am driving only 5 mi aday
Or I have to stop using it ?

Can it be the torque converter or the transmission?

It really sounded like the sound was from the engine not the trans. but hard to tell from the vid.
Obviously sooner is better then later BUT, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Either way I'd plan one doing some needed repairs

Its look like the sound is coming out of the back of the oil pan that's why I am asking if it can be the torque converter
