help :(

I put new oil and antifreeze in my car today and ever since it just dosent sound the same, for example;
If my engine is running when still the fans come on but they sound like they keep cutting out and starting up again. And then earlier I parked up turned my engine off and it almost sounded like the cars engine was still running.. Its weird. Any one know what this is? Xxx

[Mattcheese31]

So it's your fans running after you turn engine off, that will happen if engine is hot, did the coolant get bled properly? What's the oil reading on dipstick? Who changed it? Not you I'm guessing x

[smanfa]

No the fans have always done that but not like it is now, it never cut out and then started up over and over again. And when I turned my engine off it was grumbling like grrrrrrrrr as if the engine was still on.. It's really weird, hard to explain.. It sounds like it's going to blow up, I actually locked my car and ran away from it when I got home.. Lol. A friend from work changed it for me because I told them I hadn't done it in ages. I didn't have a clue...obviously lol xx

As Matt says, sounds like your fans are knackered and they haven't bled the coolant properly. Tell them they're a pleb for trying to give you head gasket failure.

Film it?
As said check your dipstick make sure there's even enough oil in there
If there's air in the system would the air be getting super hot and messing with the coolant sensor? kicking the fans in and out?
Hot air from the interior fans?

Exactly what I was thinking Steve, air then water messing with the sensor kicking the fans in and out, except air doesn't register like coolant x

Don't all engines make a GRRRRRR sound? Seriously though, that's the high speed fan noise! Amazing how much noise a fan can make tbh lol.

As above, you've probably got an air lock in the coolant.

[smanfa]

Yeah they do make a grrrrrrrrr sound...not when the engine is turned off tho! Lol. I had hardly any oil in it, it's between min and max now. The coolant stuff I just added to the rest she said not to bother mixing it because it already was mixed.. Xx

[Toms306]

Lol, changed the oil in my sisters car the other day....there was only a litre left in it.

How low was the coolant before you added some? Also it should be topped up with the same colour that's already in there really, but the mixing isn't too important, just means the antifreeze will be a bit stronger if you didn't add any water with it.

[Dum-Dum]

How much oil did you have to put in to get it to the right level?

Have you put in the right grade of oil?

How about a video of the noise?

[smanfa]

I can't do a video because I don't know how to post it up lol x

[Pompey306mark]

guess your not in paulsgrove anymore?

[Eeyore]

did the oil and antifreeze go in separate places? How much oil is there?

[Piggy]

Bleed the system.

Get it up to temperature and tell us when the fans kick in.

Just sounds like a noisey high speed fan.

[smanfa]

No mark, don't live with mum anymore, live in baffins. They usually go off within a couple of minutes of driving, they didn't used to.. I'm scared I'm guna break down whien I'm out..how embarrassing will that be.. Lol x

[Mattcheese31]

You're gonna fcuk your engine by the sounds, get it sorted asap chick.

[smanfa]

Ah I was afraid that was going to be the answer I'll get it checked out..thanks x
