Hey all,
I know this has been asked in multiple threads however it seems everyone's engine sounds different and the problems vary.
The car has done 200,000km and I have noticed there seems to be a continuous ticking/tapping noise that makes the engine much louder then usual,
I dropped the oil and used a flushing compound then refilled it with Penrite 5w-40 Full synth. The noise quitening down a little before coming back again loud as usual.
I have recorded a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GFlmU-uCRE&feature=youtu.be
Also in the video you might be able to hear what sounds like air escaping on the right side of the throttle body near the power steering tank. I have checked all the vacumn lines but it sounds like it is coming from just above the belt. Might have to have a better look in the coming days when i have time.
Cheers
