I just got it serviced,oil change,oil filter,coolant change and everything. Now the car in whichever gear,makes a smooth but loud noise like a flight engine. As soon as the RPM meter goes anything more than 1.5 mark,it starts to make the noise no matter if its standstill or moving. At a speed of 80-90 kmph,while the RPM meter shows a rating over 2 mark,the engine starts making noise as of a sports car. I could not dare to drag it over 100 kmph because of the noise. The point is,the noise was never there just a week back before I gave it for servicing.
I don't know if the noise is loud enough for others to hear it,but I can hear it from inside the car very much.
By the wy I'm not sure if its 4 cylinders. Its Corsa 1.4 GSI.
