My favorite method for identifiying funny-sound locations is to use one of the variations on the stethoscope theme. For most leaking or clicking sounds, get a length of, say 1/2" - 1" diameter tube. Put one end in your ear, and point the other end around the engine until you get a fix on the malicious sound. For internal clunking or scraping sounds, use a larger screwdriver as a sound conduction probe. The pointy end goes on the the block/fan housing/generator/whatever, and the back end goes against your head; the corner of your jaw near the joint works pretty well. (Hey, quit looking at me funny! It works!) Good luck, -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web! Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/
