i bet u all heard of the recent floods in melaka and johor

my car wasnt spared of it either...

on friday night i travelled down town from bukit beruang to lower ground areas at hang tuah area there....that place was horribly flooded altho there was no rain at all...and the road leading to old bas station in hang tuah was heavily flooded(but normal cars still can go thru)...no alternative non flooded roads so i kinda drove my car thru a long stretch of flooded road...and can hear my engine squeak a few times when driving thru the floods..

and so after 2 dry days, the car engine is squeaking like hell...seems like every belting is squeaking and 'chak-chak-chak' and 'klak-klak-klak' sound can be heard from the engine!! i cant even detect which belt is sounding coz all the belts is noisy! <_<

argh...so how now? any tips? car is running smoothly but engine is noisy
<_< :blink:

go n buy rubber grease it will stop the sound for a while only.

another thing you can check is your bearings as flood water is dirty it might got into your engine fan belt hubs B)
