Well...Did you put oil in the car"? Was it low? Noise gone?

i put some oil in the car but since i hve a lack of money i only put on bottle the noise disapeared for a second and yes it was low so that most likely is the problem...hopefully tomarrow i will find out for sure when i put lke 3 bottles in it..thanks

don't you know how to check the oil dip stick to see if the engine needs oil???

Any car has this... not just rotary engines.

If you don't, you need to go find the owners manual and take an auto shop class or perhaps a "autos for dummies" book???

You don't just put oil in... you only put enough in to the proper levels

Sound very much like low oil. But to be making grinding sounds the oil light on ur centre dash should have come on. I hope the adding of more oil fixes your problem, and no permanant damage has occured. Seeing you a n00b to the wonderful rotary you must learn OIL IS INCREDIBLY important and should always be checked and topped up.

If you don't have the money for the oil don't drive the car you will just do major damage which ends up costing alot of money. If the sounds go's away consider your self damn lucky. Also don't just throw bottles in put the exact right amount in. Also use a good oil like here in a Australia we have Penrite 50 works with these engines really well.
