I Currently own a 95 Talon tsi FWD and I just bought this car late March 2013.
When I bought the car from the owner, she ran just fine. No problems. Drove her about 60 miles back home and then suddenly the car started acting up.

When I start the engine, right away, the car knocks super loud. Like non stop.
This knock will go on forever. I found a loose rod bearing and decided to replace all of the rod bearings. I found some tiny metal pieces like shredded inside my oil pan. Replaced oil with SYN.
After replacing the rod bearings, the car is still knocking. I do not know what the problem is. :cry:

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I START INVESTING MONEY INTO THE CAR.

I agree with Lou98gsx. If you spun a rod bearing then more than likely the rod and crank are damaged and a new bearing wont fix it. The rods and crank would need to be removed and taken to a machine shop to be measured to see if it could be repaired by cutting it or you will need a new one. The same goes for the rod also.
