Noise from engine area .....
Hello
I noticed two things that my baby did not use to do.
Firstly when I reverse my car (when it has been standing in the garage overnight) it make sa loud thumping noise as if the front wheels have gone over a rock. Only thumps once and then all is well.
Secondly, when pulling away in first I hear slight noise coming from the engine are as if something is grinding or rubbing. It seems to only happen in first gear.
Any ideas.
TIA
Snoops

I dont have a less painful way ONCE it is rusted BUT what I've always done in any car is -- pump brakes many times after car wash.

I thought of replying earlier but figured that the likelihood of your cleaning the car in winter as well as having so much rust was not too high. Guess not
In any event, hope there is no real damage. All the best.

I always go for a little drive (to dry the car) after I've washed my car, then I park it in the garage. Guaranteed, no problems with the brakes etc.

roads after car washing. Then go through the whole process again
