"tok tok tok" sound when driving slowly

[Asure7]

Experiencing an intermittent "tok tok tok" sound, like something is dropping off when I drive slowly, especially up the slopes at multi-storey carparks...

Sounds like it's coming from the undercarriage.

 

Anyone experienced the same thing?  :/

What model yr car ?

Most probably is either the spring strut top or anti-roll bar bushing.

[keltanky]

Possible exhaust header leaking, anyway does your FC drops?

I had same problem and the tok tok tok is evident only when slow cornering in MSCP. No noise when travelling or cornering on the road

 

went for check but found no serious issues 

 

technician suspected that the noise coming from joints / door hinges

 

he lubricated and greased up all hinges and joints and that solved my problem

i once had this similiar sound when my steering was fully turn to the left. As in like reversing into a lot, i will get that sound. Or nagivating a tight bend in low low speed.

 

i had successfully "repeat" the sound during the test ride with the mechanic/Service adviser and it was solved. No mention what was done but it was long gone.

 

Best part....it is under warranty.

Just had my engine mount replaced by C&C today. Mileage at 35k. Car is just 1 1/2 years old, preamatured failure.

Covered under warranty?

Covered under warranty?

 

I certainly hope so since he said "prematured failure"...

[Cocolola]

Yes, covered under warranty, but im surprised that engine mount would failed so quickly. There is a slight vibration when I stopped at the lights and during acceleration. But the repair wouldt take2 days.

"tok tok tok" while on full lock at low speed usually related to CV joints but that's something you'd expect from a FWD or 4WD car.

Update:  Sound was due to "stabilizer linkage".  Warranty covered.  Now all is well

You mean the anti-roll bar bushing that was change ?

Sorry, didn't know exactly whether anything was changed as nothing was stated on the receipt regarding this.

The SE merely mentioned that it was due to "stabilizer linkage" when he called to informed that the car was ready for collection.

Hi fellow members,

 

I too noticed the noise from my E200 (year 2009) recently which I can only describe as a "propeller" noise during initial acceleration. The noise may continue into higher speed acceleration, but if it is, it's drowned out by the engine. It almost sounds, dreadfully, like one of those little cars with aftermarket exhaust.

 

I can only hear this noise during acceleration about half way through first and into second gear. By the time that I'm really into third, the noise may be there, but I can't hear it over the road and the engine. If I let off the gas at any point when I can hear this noise, it goes a way. It's like it's synced to the throttle. The car must be physically moving in order for me to hear the noise. Torque-braking does not reproduce it nor will it happen in neutral or park as I press on the gas.

 

Could anyone able to offer some advise on this please?

 

Thanks.

Sounds like the supercharger..... but its normal..... if its not too loud.

OT abit but I am also  hearing a continuous tok tok sound from my steering wheel before I crank the engine up...... wondering why issit liddat.

[mbslng]

tanwill,

 

Thanks for the comment.  The "propeller" sound (also sound like from the exhaust pipe type) was not there before.  It is not very loud but is rather annoying.

[Ricebandit]

could be a leak in the exhaust system, maybe from the muffler.

[tanwill]

Agreed
