What could the ticking noise coming from the engine of a 1999 Daewoo Lanos be and approximately how much would it cost to get it fixed?
My brother's Daewoo Lanos 2000 (using the stantard E-TECH
engine) which I have been working on since about 15,000 miles has
since day one had the same ticking in the engine. When I went back
to the dealership I was assured that there was no problem with the
car and that all of the Daewoo that use the e-tech engine (which is
now also used in the Chevy Aveo and the Kia Spectra) have the same
characteristic ticking. When I expressed my disbelief the dealer
took me around and let me listen to most of the daewoo left on the
lot. It is true that they all shared the ticking. It seems poor
engineering that creates an engine that ticks. After all the
ticking MUST be caused by parts that are tourching, and after a
while surely it will wear away. It is worrysome but as of yet I
have been unable to find a cure for this praticular problem. If
there are comments about this answer please email me:
