Supercharger Tick
recently i've noticed a weird ticking noise coming from my supercharger on start ups when the engine is cold, but as soon as the engine warms up, its fine. it is not the noise the supercharger makes normally, it is an added noise on top of it. is it something to worry about? Step dad, the salvage car guy, just told me not to worry about it until it blows up
but i'd rather not replace the Bonne just yet.

Re: Supercharger Tick
kinda hard to hear through the video, but i do believe that is the same kind of noise. almost a little knocking sounding but not nearly a rod knock. my guess is that that is the same

Re: Supercharger Tick
Sounds like a coupler. Remove the belt and turn the pulley quickly back and forth, if there's "slop" then it's bad. $40 and an hour and a half or so will fix it right up.

Re: Supercharger Tick
Yup, hence the video.... DO a search on replacement and you will find instructions.

Re: Supercharger Tick
Could try changing the oil? That made mine stop making a rattling noise. I can't hear the video, cuz I don't have speakers hooked up haha.

Just because it has that much left doesn't mean you have to wait that long.YoungBonne12 wrote:I will check it out when I can, but the oil for the supercharger was changed 10k ago and the oil still has 1k left before its due
