Third Gen Common faults thread

The centre console around auto trans, easy to pop out. After fixing my hand brake lever, it is hard to put it back into place and now it's popped out. Will fix that on weekends.

Also the handbrake did not work properly last time(wont lock even on full strength on hand brake lever). In the end change brake disc and will do the pads on weekends.

Knocking yes it's still there even though already changing oil. Is there any additives that can reduce this?

Thanks

Hey mate, I followed Mal's advice following a ticking noise in my wifes TJ2.

1. Added Wynns 'Engine Flush', let idle (idle ONLY) for 20-25 mins.
2. Drain oil.
3. Fill up again using Penrite HPR10.
4. Added Wynn's 'Supreme' engine treatment.

2-3 days later, no more ticking noise, especially on cold morning start up, HAPPY camper

Thanks mate. I'll try to put wynn's engine treatment then.. Just changed my oil 200KM's ago.

Hi mate,

Don't quote me but I think the engine treatment has nothing to do with eliminating the noise.

It's the engine flush that is more beneficial for that, don't really think adding the treatment now would help at all ( with the noise ). Best to wait until next change and try the flush
