Video: Customer tells workshop ‘my car sounds like a dolphin’ – and it does!

When something isn't right with your car, how would you best describe it to the mechanic?


A YouTube channel in the US has released a compilation video featuring car problems that have been creatively described by the customers.

From a car that sounds like a howling husky to a farting Ford, these hilarious descriptions perfectly match the vehicle ailments.

The clip, compiled by YouTube channel Just Rolled In even explains what is causing the animalistic noises.



For example, the Kia Optima that sounds like a goose, had a minor scrape that affected the front suspension's lower control arm and wheel. A flatulent Ford demonstrates a common fault with the evaporative emission control system (EVAP).

While the descriptions and noises are very funny, it does serve as a reminder that regular maintenance is the best way to avoid any barnyard noises from your car, and that if it ever does start whistling or screaming out of character, you should probably get it checked.
