Scurry over to the lounge where this comment belongs.




PitBulls: Smoke Color/smell? Any idea exactly where the knocking is coming from Turbo? Engine? Belt? Fan? See what you can provide before you restart the car so you do not casue any additional damage.

Forgot to add more to it. Sorry, got sidetracked. Is your fan off kilter? Maybe hitting the shroud?
