chanelle1234 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 well i was stuck in traffic yesterday and herd this horrible noise coming from my engine. It sort of sounded like a cd changing from under my bonnet or a sizzling kind of noise?? Only does it when i hit 2500 revs, if i slow down and then go to 2500revs it does it to, in every gear.Curt had a look when he got home and it sounded as if it was coming from this thing next to the fuel filter, what is it? Does anyone know how this noise can be stopped?any help would be appreciated guys chanelle x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 mine does this too! but all the time even when the engine isn't running? its a sort of buzzing sound? me and my dad had a look but we couldn't tell either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jezza Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Its a charcoal filter designed to absorb petrol vapour while the car is parked. Once you start the car the vapors from the charcoal canister are purged back into your engine and burned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 yes it's a charcoal canister,Mines does it aswell so it's fineGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 So THAT's what it is. When I've been working in the bay before, sometimes from time to time, and if I touched the hoses leading into it, it'd make the sparking sound, which quite frankly is worrying.My mind is at rest now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
