Velse Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hello all. First of all, my apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am pretty concerned about this. We have a ticking noise and I am afraid it might be related to the big end or surroundings. It begun a week ago more or less, and it has only got louder by now. I´ve seen many posts around but mostly 10 years old. Here is a video where I recorded the noise, but first, some technical info on it: The ticking happens from around 1500/1800 rpm. Mostly above 40km/h (25 miles) Faster tempo as you accelerate, slower tempo as you decelerate, it is mostly muted if you apply the brakes. It does not happen from cold start, but after a little bit of driving, maybe after 10 minutes of above 1500rpm driving. After a few minutes of higher speeds and coming back to 1500 rpm the tick is louder, can hear it from outside as an oily kind of ticking, from inside as a dry tick, mostly coming from the right side of the car (as you drive forward). oil level is correct, the car is 8 years old, second hand but never did too many miles, the expected amount for a 1.25l small car really. Will take it to be checked and report back, but it can take a couple of days for that and I would like to hear some inputs from those who might have some experience. The noise is louder but the phone mics record a lot of noise with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qno2HqB7CI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
