Hello everyone,
excuse me English is my second language
i have a few problems with my 2001 XLT Expy 190+ k miles...
first problem is a strange clicking sound when i turn the car on (doesn't matter if engine is hot or cold) or when the car is about to shift between gears. its like a tapping sound on a metal surface or (this will sound funny) like same sound the "predator" from the movie is making, a clicking noise.
and the noise will occur faster if i press the gas pedal more.
** this problem happened when my engine oil gauge started to go up and down with the warning light ( because i didn't change it for a long time). <oil level was fine... later i changed the oil and everything went back to normal except this clicking sound.
most mechanics in my area said it could be a damaged oil pump or the crank shaft.?
my second problem is a damaged/bent tube i need help to identify whats it for?
** this tube is on the right side next to the passenger running board.
Thx.
* i will try to keep this post updated once i fix these problems.
