Hi Sir,

I own the vehicle listed above magnum diesel full option car. But last three year i am facing with a problem; while switch on the engine there is a cracking noise. And after engine starts the car is quiet. I changed flywheel clutch etc., as per different mechanics persons, still the problem exists.

Kindly advice me with a permanent solution for it.

Regards,
Subin

Hi Ramsubin,

Is it possible to get a recording of this noise? Just take a video with the hood up and someone else starting the vehicle so that you can get the recording of the engine starting from under the hood or where ever you can hear this noise from.

I am sure after hearing it we can get some ideas as to what it is. Thanks
