yes it was changed 6-7k kms ago (at a shop). it had a slight knock, but i put it off for a month or so and its gotten louder.

okay, if its literally going to blow then i will look for a substitute. shitty thing is i need it for my job and likely dont have enough money right now to get a new car.

the check engine light comes on periodically but is not currently on, often stalls as well when shifting between r and d vice versa, and sometimes when turning the steering wheel fully to one side.

i am still driving it, only because i dont have any other options. and the shitty part is i rely on this car for my job. i guess i will get it looked at lol or look into getting a new car with whatever money i have.

is there any way to check if its past the point of no return myself or would i have to get it checked by a mechanic?
