I have recently had the oil separator replaced, an engine flush and new oil/filter installed which hasn't remedied the situation.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Whenever I put my foot down to give my car a good pasting I end up with a very noisey engine when I stop. There is a loud ticking from the left bank somewhere. If I proceed to drive normally for a while or turn the engine off for a few minutes it goes back to normal. It sounds like a knocking cam or tappet type of noise but it can't be either as the noise goes away once I treat her nice again. Are the 3.4 engines partial to oil starvation anywhere? I have recently had the oil separator replaced, an engine flush and new oil/filter installed which hasn't remedied the situation. Are the lifters a common problem? If so, how difficult are they to replace? I'm nervous about putting my foot down now which is embarrassing when other oiks want to try it on at the lights !

POST 2Original post

has the car had any other engine work done on it... . just wondering if one of the pumps on the end of the cam is faulty or in wrong, the other thing i can think of is cam solenoid fault..

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not that i'm aware of. It has a solid service history and has had plenty of work done on things like the coils, wishbones, bushes etc. No outstanding TSB's or anything like that. Where are the cam solenoid and pumps located? Is there any tests I can do myself?

POST 4Original post

you have a scavange oil pump on each bank which needs checking its set up right and the solenoids are sat near the coil packs in the cam cover.. not really a lot you can do yourself
