Hey guys, i have a question. THe other day i pulled out onto a street and
while accelerating i heard a loud mettalic clunk/bang, the car began loudly
ticking until i lost power and the engine stalled, i coasted into a parking
lot and parked the car, i tried to restart and it just made a loud tap/click
sound. Now all it does when i try to start is make one loud mettalic
clunk/tap, almost sounds like a bell, coming from close to the firewall. Any
Ideas? it is an 85 325e. Thanks
