Hey all, been awhile since I posted here but it's also been awhile since my Kia was an issue.
For the last few months there has been a progrressivly worse noise coming from the left side of the engine compartment, i.e. where the tranny sits. At first the noise seemed like maybe a strut or something as it started as a here and there noise that sounded like my D-side tire rubbing. I can feel it in the pedals when it happens too.
Now it's vibrating and making a noise that sounds like a bad A/C clutch while driving and sometimes while just idleing as well. It hasn't affected the way the car runs or drives at all but as it's my wifes DD I'd like to try and narrow it down.
Key notes:
2006 Kia Spectra
5 Speed Manual
Clutch replaced in Dec 2011
grinding/vibrating noise intermitent while driving/idleing
Noise seems to be coming from D-Side engine compartment
At this time, does not affect drivability in any way aside from hearing it
Thanks, hope someone can help me!
