Hi guys,

Recently ive realised that my cars been making funny noises especially in the cold morning when turning the car on for the first time of the day. Problem is i don't know whether this sound was always there or not cuz its really not THAT loud enough to hear from inside the car.

What happened was, i was doing an oil change so my bonnet was open then i turned the car on to let the oil circulate, then when i turned it on i hear this short "crunching" sorta sound from the passengers side whereabouts the a/c thing is but couldn't precisely locate where its coming from. It happens everytime i turn the car on and on and slowly goes away till when the engine is completely warm. So please could anyone help with some suggestions or have had similar issues like mine and tell me what this is?

I would appreciate it alot as im in a tight budget go actually go see a mechanic for this at the moment as my rear bars been hit and need repairs :D

Cheers

Does it sound like its coming from inside the dash or inside the engine bay. If its from your dash, its just something to do with your climate control. I can't remember exactly what it is, but it makes a crunching sound when you turn the car on. It will also make a crunching sound when you turn the climate control from a low temp to a high temp. You will only really hear these from inside the car. If this is it, then don't worry, it doesn't do any damage. Its just this little piece slipping, but it will all still work :blink:

If this is not it, then sorry :D Hope it helps anyway :D

yep i know what your talking about...and yes it kinda sounds like that but louder when turning the car on, you can hear it from under the bonnet on the passengers side right next to where the BOV goes...

But thanks anyway, what do you mean by you can hear it inside your car when you turn the car on? cuz i don't think i heard anything from the dash when actually turning it on, i can only hear it from the dash when turning the climate control knob?

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
