Hello all,

I have strange clicking and ticking noise coming from the engine. Here is a video of it:

I recently had the complete timing chain job at the dealership. It fixed the whine on acceleration and most of the rattle on startup but this noise still remains. Ive found it sounds similar to the fuel damper assembly ticking. It doesn't go away when its warmed up and I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and floorboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my engine sounds like this?

 

Hey, you stole my name...


That said, I recall my 07 used to make that noise. May not have been as pronounced, and I didn't feel it inside the car, but the valves made a lot of noise when you had the hood up. Not saying what you are experiencing is normal, just saying these motors tend to have clicking valves...

 

low on oil?

Try Lucas Oil Stabilizer. It does a great job at making the oil stick, bringing it up to the top of the engine and providing an even coat. I have/had this very same sound. The stabilizer is now a routine add with my oil changes.

 

I think mine is similar. I did not thing it was something major as I have had no engine problems, and I make sure oil level doesn't get low. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
