Took it to a garage b4. They drove it and clearly heard the noise. Checked the engine over and said everything is as normal. Then said it could be the engine brace that is worn away or completely broke. I only no it has engine mounts not braces??? so I'm lost again as its obviously a mechanical problem engine wise because it only happens when the car is in gear and moving, which lead me to the conclusion (air intake) where there was oil.

I see this all the time on other boards I look at. Young lad tells a story about bringing his car to the mechanic and gets a couple of fault codes read, and then turns up on an Internet forum wanting to know what the cause is and how much it will cost. But it never ceases to amaze me why they didn't ask those same questions of the skilled professional who read the codes in the first place....

What I can't believe is the garage told him everything is ok...Heard the noise too...
Then said it could be the engine brace....What?....last car I worked on that had a brace was a 65 plate Mini....!
This is just a waste of everyone's time .....

Is it a twin port engine ? if it is, that needs checking and also the engine needs checking for knock control that is if it is engine load associated !!

Mac. Not disputing your expert opinion, but if there was a knock control issue, wouldn't it throw a code? Perhaps the op forgot to mention this?

This ain't bullshit at all. Its a genuine problem I have with my car. Ive been to a few garages and they ALL leave me baffled. Problem with garages is they wont tell you right then and there even if its a common sense problem. They tell you book it in to make money out of it. Is there a way I can post a video on here?? Ive got a video with a clear sound of the noise but youtube is taking p*ss verifying it so it can be seen for some reason.
I'm not messing about.
Oh and before I went to any garages I looked on here first. So if your guna make stupid comments keep them to your self plz. I'm looking fir help not an argument.

The people replying to you are technicians, when you say "They tell you book it in to make money out of it" that's how these people pay their bills. rent, for food etc, so the first thing to do is to apologise for your comment otherwise you'll get no replies other than ridicule. You could upload your vid to facebook and link that here

I'm not trying to slag anyone off. They told me engine brace. Really, someone else said the last car they worked on that had an engine brace was an old style mini years ago.
Don't matter anymore. Thanks you to the people that actually Tryed to help at start of thread.

The symptoms you gave changed half way through.
If it was an engine brace that had worn away as you mentioned earlier then it should have been booked in to have it sorted. other problems may have happened since.
Im out, Ive got a living to make.
