    Default Knocking sound on deceleration was loose front pulley!

    I had a sound on deceleration that almost sounded like an engine knock. Took it to my mechanic and traced it down to the front pulley. It was still in good shape, but it turns out that the bolt was slightly loose. After locktight and re-torquing the issue was resolved. Still going to have the recall stuff done though. Think it covers both the bolt and the pulley if I read right.

    Just thought I’d share in case it happens to someone else. Mechanic said it was a first for him too.

    The bolt not tight enough, might just be the "red dust"starter, imho, if the pulley/sprocket is slightly loose, it could move on the splines, causing the rust, and the rattling noise...
    again just my two cents
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    Yeah that was my mechanic’s theory too…. Makes sense.
