Knocking from Driver side - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wilso · 05-21-2015, 09:22 PM

so I just got home from dinner, about 10km drive, pull into my driveway and
As I'm slowly coming up to my garage I hear a knocking sound. Clutch out its knocking, well a louder tapping noise. Hear it from the bottom by the wheel and its faint through the engine bay. I hope to god it's not piston knock T_T

So I just realized if it goes away with the clutch it's not an engine issue.. Stupid me and panicking. I just engaged and disengaged the clutch a handful of times just now and it has seemed to go away. Any thoughts on what it could be?

There is a "service bulletin" for the knocking noise your talking about....my brz is at Subaru right now for it. Just take it to your local dealership, it's all covered. Basically it's most of the drivers side engine. I can't find the link but it's 3 pages of parts. Hope this helps!!

Sort of? Not as bad as that. Went to my buddy's after there was no noise, and just got home, and still no noise.. Not sure what it could be

oh awesome! It'd probably be best if I put my stock exhaust back on and intake? you think it's okay to leave my coil overs in?

Well just to be on the safe side, you know how dealerships are....since my car still is under warranty too I took off any after market engine stuff off just in case. I don't want them throwing that at me then saying there going to void my warranty. Think the exhaust might be ok? But anything in the engine I would switch back. Have any pics of your brz?
