Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Left the house today and got about a block before realizing I forgot my wallet and turned back. When I pulled into my driveway and got out I heard a slight ticking from the driver�s side. Drove it a half mile to the gas station and took another listen but it all sounded fine (see vid) You Tube I guess it�s irrelevant as it�s going to Jake in July. Never had a hint of a tick before and couldn�t detect it after, who knows....

I agree. I think the M96 is the nosiest engine ever made in terms of weird noises. A diesel may be louder; but, at least it's an "honest" noise!

Two things: #1: That doesn't sound concerning to me. #2: Let us know what Jake finds on disassembly, if anything.

For sure. I believe FSI provides details of the tear down and build. Will be happy to share over the coming months.

POST 6Original post

Anytime I hear a weird noise, I take the car to WOT for extended periods to remind the her that ticks, squeaks and rattles will not be tolerated and will be dealt with mercilessly. Worked so far.

+2 I'm gonna drive my car without worrying about every noise. If the engine fails, well, so be it...

POST 8Original post

Sounds like mine ever since I got it. 7 years @ 50k miles.

POST 9Original post

I've determined that the muffler delete helps mask a lot of these sounds

heck yeah. enough of this paranoia!

POST 11Original post

as long as you hear weird noise/sounds, yours in the good. the day you hear your engine break, you will know... and the ticking noise difference between both doesn't help know when is when... so just enjoy it while it lasts...(even if its for ever...)
