New Here , 2 Things , Engine Gearbox

[Guest mungo21]

hello all.

 

im hoping you can help me here,

i have a 2.0 si mondy on a k plate,

with 133000 mile on clock

 

the fist thing is that when i pull away there is viboration comming from the engine, up to about 2k rpm,

also when i floor it and change from first to secound gear, there is a thud noise,from gear box,

 

and last ,,

 

just had the car seviced, and after the service i started the car and noticed a strange noise comming from the the top of the engine, like something is catching, this goes when you rev the car, and once warmed up, only get the noise if car has been standing over night,

 

iv out 10/40 oil in,,

 

if any one can help me this would be great, as both me a my mechanic are just guessing at what is coursing the problems..

Im really no expert, but from the things i have read i can make a few assumptions.

 

The vibration on pulling away could either be your engine mounts or the connection between the engine and exhaust (which is sprung)

Mondeos have a problem with first to second, mines done 134K and theres no abnormal problems yet, thuds usually mean bearings (crank shaft big end for instance - this wont be your problem, youd know if that had happened!). Apart from that, cant help.

 

As for the cold tick, oil types can change this.
