SkypirateX wrotewhat did Ray say about it? sounds like a low power steeringI also have had this engine wine since I bought the car a few months ago. If anyone has any idea what either of these noises could be that would be great. Thanks
leopard print wroteDealer blamed it on something to do with the exhaust once againAny update on the ticking? I had an oil change yesterday and noticed the same exact noise when I got home. I only hear it when the car is completely warm.
Mr. Liu wroteHaha. Yeah, I'm not too concerned about it. It's just a little annoying which is why I'm inquiring if there's a remedy or explanation.Lol here comes the ticking threads again as the weather starts to warm up. My theory stands correct!
SkypirateX wroteGotcha. Thanks for the reply.Dealer blamed it on something to do with the exhaust once again
jkjk id do an oil analysis if you havent
opihi5 wroteCpo though March of next yearbbBbbBbeaarrriiinnggg failure.. hope you have a warranty or that engine is gonna be a good 20k.
SkypirateX wroteour cars have a distinct straight gear whine from the cams, but unless the camera is adding a noise artifact, it doesn't sound like that. that sounds more like an alternator bearing.Just picked the car back up. Per the service ticket the wine is valve train noise and the ticking is from heat shields in the exhaust manifold area.
Next week it's going to another dealer where I know a few people who tend to be very through. Will keep everyone updated.
If it ends up being nothing that's great. But I would rather be safe than sorry. My line of work makes me very sensitive to noises that are not normal so this is going to bother me forever
IIAp3x wroteOk so why does this noise get very bad right after I do an oil change and gradually goes away the more I drive the car over a period of 2-3000 miles?All these videos sound like all of the other heat shield ticking videos to me...
My engine is brand new and even I get this similar ticking occasionally- typically when its 85 degrees or higher and the car has been heat soaking in traffic with the a/c on...
I would not worry about it..
SkypirateX wroteOnly if you use Liqui MolyOk so why does this noise get very bad right after I do an oil change and gradually goes away the more I drive the car over a period of 2-3000 miles?
tbrown1985 wroteCorrect. Any reasoning behind that? Changing it back to factory oil next weekSkypirateX wroteOnly if you use Liqui MolyOk so why does this noise get very bad right after I do an oil change and gradually goes away the more I drive the car over a period of 2-3000 miles?
TonyS65 wroteNoise goes away after 3-4K miles are put on the oil. Changing back to factory stuff next oil change to verify that will still make it go away. I have taken it into 3 different dealerships and they all blame it on the exhaust manifolds which blows my mind as it gets worse after oil changes. What oil changes have to do with the exhaust manifolds... Beats me. And no my car didn't blow up he's just being the professional troll that he is.Mr. Lui,
Any updates? Did the noise ever go away?
Sorry for bumping an old thread. Having the same issue.
