Hi All,
I bought a car yesterday and when driving away from the seller, after about 30km's the car accelerator went through the roof out of nowhere. Whilst peacefully driving.
When we got it to 4th gear instead of 5th RPM's returned to normal, but by that point something started banging near the front wheels and in the engine bay. And now it keeps banging as speed increases. Usually gets really loud above 30km's. We towed the car right away and gave it to a mechanic. I know it could be the computer, but it just doesn't really make sense. We didn't really feel the car accelerating even tho it was 7k+rmps. And the banging sound was scary. Any idea what it could be ?
Thank you very much 🙂
Congratulations on the purchase of your new to you Focus! Watch Scotty's video about car noises. How to pinpoint the sources of car noises Scotty. It's on YouTube. He shows you exactly how to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much. Already got an answer from a mechanic. The transmition is broken.
