Daffo 3 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Guys! I'm loving my 156 2.0 JTS, but she's having a moan... On startup, I hear a 'whistling' sound from the engine, and she hunts for a few seconds. If I drive away immediately, she's a bit 'jerky' in first and second. 60 seconds later, she's fine, although, on occasion she's a bit jerky in fourth... I haven't tried a throttle reset yet. Not sure if it's appropriate... Oil consumption seems a bit excessive (to be honest, it's often hard to read the dipstick...). Any thoughts please? I also have a low 'humming' sound that is detailed in the Suspension/Brakes section. Thanks! Daff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 New car I see, well I'd start by pluging in the laptop (as usual) to see if there are any codes for the lumpyness, the whistling is probably a belt idler/tensioner on the Aux side. But the first thing you dould try is to pull out the coil pascks and look for oil down the holes, if there is clean it out as best you can and also from the coil leads too. Also check the intake for splits and ensure all plugs are on properly, we know what the old 1.6 use to do to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffo 3 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Ah, the old 1.6! Thanks Alex - I'll get on it this afternoon. Rgds, D. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffo 3 Report post Posted March 28, 2012 I finally had a day off when I could check what Alex suggested. Yep, there was oil in the spark plug wells... I've cleaned it up as best I can. Where might the problem be guys? Daff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted March 28, 2012 Rocker cover gaskets, but normally spillage from vigorous top ups. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daffo 3 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 Quite possibly vigorous top-ups! As I found out yesterday... Had to get cleaning again... :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
