smooth1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 5,000 miles a year average? Do you take alot of very short trips or does the car sit for long periods between drives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smooth1 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Then you probably need to change the oil more often. Are you running Dino or synthetic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanH Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 post a video with sound. I suspect its just valve noise and nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
