Why is my Plymouth Colt making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Plymouth Colt. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Plymouth Colt engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Plymouth Colt radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Colt when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
