Something loose in the engine. - Toyota Yaris Forums

HI everybody,

I have just joined this wonderful forum, happy to be between you!

I have bought a Sedan Yaris 3 months ago ( brand new ).

When I pass over some speed bump or something like that, I feel something jumps up in the engine compartment, as if something is loose ...

Has anybody have a similar experience?

jack TOOLS in the trunk?

Check that your air cleaner cover is properly latched down. I have seen it a couple of times where a quick oil change place or an inspection will do a `courtesy check' of your fluids and filters and either forget or not figure out how to snap the cover clips back into proper position.

Thank you for your answer but the sound clearly comes from engine compartment.

Beside that, I hear this sound when the front wheels are passing on a speed bump or something.

Thanks for your answer... But what I hear seems to be the sound of a HEAVY thing jumping up and down... Doesnt seem to be something like air cleaner cover or similar things... But I am going to check it anyway...

Any Other Ideas?

Wait till everything cools down and check to see if the exhaust is loose anywhere?

It's under warranty so take it to the dealer!

mine have a metal sound when i go over road bumps (the so called pot holes in Quebec)

but it does sound from the inside of the car, near the ODBII connector.

Mine was doing that. Found out the spare tire wasnt completely tightend down. Now the spare tools jump around a bit and clang around now too.

Thank you my friend for sharing your experience. But in my case it cant be spare tire because the sound comes from engine not from trunk.

Thank you anyway ...

check the motor mounts......? its the only thing i can think of, but if the car is new it shouldnt be an issue, how fast are you going over the speed bumps?
