I have a Bachmann diesel engine,Santa FE 307. It makes a loud clicking sound going forward and in reverse. What can I do to quiet the clicking? Thank You.

manual or auto transmission?

HOW TO CHECK YOUR OIL

You do have drive and reverse,if you have park and neutral.It just the transmission cant transfer that power a new or rebuilt is the solution

hello I am having a issue with my santa fe diesel and currently suspecting that the oil that the service center is using is a generic oil used in both diesel and petrol engines. I am suspecting that the oil is too thin and causing compression in the cylinder issues and can be seen under load on low revs and very little responsiveness from the accelerator and at times the engines misses and has at one point stalled. You may also hear that the engine rattles on acceleration. I am going to experiment in putting in an oil particularly for diesels only and see if that makes a difference. I topped up 500ml before the last service on a 5w-40 diesiel synthetic oil and that seemed to make a big difference. I am guess 5w-30 will be better choice but did not have that sitting around at the time.
Be interested if anyone else experiments with an oil change and it works.

Usually a roar at speed is a wheel bearing and your hearing the rough roller balls of the bearing making the noise as they rotate while driving. The cost to replace it vaires by the amount of time it takes to remove the old bearing. There is a flat rate but many shops say the flat rate is ______ but that is subject to total job time on a wheel bearing. Usually it costs anywhere from $100- $170 parts and labor.
Bad wheel bearings if they lock up can also many other components if they spin in the housing / bearing race. Do not let it go on for an extended period as it can drastically increase total repair costs.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Im having the same problem with my 02 Santa Fe. How do i go about fixing this problem? And is it costly? Please help

If I am Correct, This is not a Diesel Burning Car Right???? If not you will not have Glow Plugs. Glow Plugs were only Installed on Diesel Engines to Preheat the Motor Before Start.
