ticking noise
hi guys i got the car serviced today which included oil,filter,spark plugs and new plenum gasket plus gearbox fully serviced now when i got home in my garage i noticed a ticking noise that wasn't there before the service now the noise sounds like its coming from around the top side or side of the motor on the drivers side i ve rules out exhaust gasket as it wasn't touched also seems to be misfiring so i am wondering what the g.o is cheers
64 views and no help well i took it back today and they are saying i have a sticky lifter so they put some tune up in a bottle in it and see how it goes over the weekend
Nice attitude, man.
Hope you never try and sell anything lol
Interesting to hear their diagnosis, it's overhead cam, right?
yeah its double overhead cam and its only ticking on 1 side and only since new plugs and oil change hmmm

What oil are you using using?
I had the ticking noise only at start up few 1-2 secs, change type of oil i used, no more ticking!

hi marcus vz alloytech doesnt have leads just coil packs i reckon it could be a slightly loose sparkplug but they insist it could be a bit of sludge on the lifter from changing the oil or maybe the oil is too thin that they use
well sound still there hmmm i still seem to think its a loose spark plug
Often cars that are driven gently have this issue, do you ever give it a bit of stick? A few runs up to redline every now and then helps clear things out.
Also, oil additives are best avoided at all costs.

hi abg yes at least once a day i like to open the throttle but its been a while since shes been on the highway also autoleaders added the nulon lifter free probably because they cant be bothered checking the real problem
just started it and boy it ran like shit anyone would think it had a lumpy cam in it as it was rocking side to side almost sounding like it was dieing,Getting real worried now as my problems have o ly came since the service last week it was a very smooth car to drive no noises just perfect.There is no errors or anything hmmm got it booked in tomorow to get the diff oil changed abd the get the fuel system cleaned but i am going to get them to fix the rough idle and knocking that they have caused from servicing
my guess is the manifold gasket aint sealin properly and thats what was tickin and now its runnin rough as its leanin out but just a guess.
ok had the car checked at auto leaders today they found that all was in place so sounds like the ticking is a sticky lifter that should go away with nulon lifter free.Also got a full fuel system service done minus the filter and it has made the car idle alot better to the point where i cant tell if the car is running also got the diff oil changed new oil and filter and gearbox service so gave her a boot full today and felt very responsive just annoyed that is raining and cant test her properly lol
