Loud Engine Ticking
Hi guys new to the forum
The other day I started my car and it got this loud ticking noise, more than usual injector noise can hear it in the cabin with engine cover on and bonnet shut. My valvetronic sensor has gone which I’m changing soon but I’m 99.9% sure that has nothing to do with this ticking. When you rev the car it gets faster and on de cel they get slower. Oil is on max never dropped below. Should coming more from the left side on the engine bay. Videos will be uploaded when I work out how Any help would be appreciated |

What thin oil are you running.
NO Proof - just observation:
When I had switched to Redline 5W-30. (not the EURO) -- I thought the engine ran so quiet. My guess that any FE oil would make the TAPPING louder esp at the end of the OCI. I run the PP EURO 5W-40 in Summer and the LL-01FE 0W-30 in Winter |

Touching don't work... Get a Harbor Freight stethoscope or use the old screwdriver trick (handle to the ear) and find whether the noise is lifters or injectors. Sounds like lifters to me... You can try 40w oil to see if it calms things down, but not sure that'll do anything. You say VVT sensor is gone? And yes, VVT has everything to do with valve lift and can be the cause of the noise IMO.
Good luck |

@M235iNightmare what do you think it is?
Was your ticking a much different sound and that's why you doing think that is my issue?
