New THUNK, THUNK, thunk, thunk, thunk when starting
Picked up my car the other day after having lent it to my daughter and her boyfriend for a few days. As soon as the engine caught I heard a couple of loud thunks followed by softer thunks until idle smoothed out. This was also accompanied by various scraping noises. First thought, 'What the hell have you guys done to my car!'
Since then I have only started it a couple times to move it around to shovel snow out of driveway. Each startup exhibited the exact same behaviour. Finally warmed up enough today to go take a look at her. Hard pack snow and ice encasing lower engine and transmission. Breathed a big sigh of relief knowing they didn't F something up.

I took those same pics 2 years ago in my silver car lol. I think I picked it up when I backed out of a street that was seemingly too deep for my lowered setup at the time lol

She had left it sitting in a GO parking lot during the last storm. I figure the wind whipped snow blew in under the car and up into the engine bay.

Splash guards scoop snow onto engine etc. in reverse gear Yaris
The left and right splash guards are scoops in reverse! I'm in a flat place w/ winter treads and full rear seat delete front weight bias...so just drive out instead of shoveling snow. Backing in on the flip-flop scoops snow, and backing will also scoop branches and junk when off-roading.
Would like to find some ugly splash guards to modify. (The lower grill also traps branches going forward, so would screen over that and the fog light delete grills) |
