Hey all,
Been a long time since the last post :) My car's been going well, but, ever since ~6 months ago when i went to QLD for a holiday (1200k's each way) my car sounds like it has a valve ticking, or *something*, occurs mostly under load, 2000rpm-4000rpm or so and the more load, the more obvious it is, it's pretty darn loud, isn't getting any better either. When i went for the QLD trip, i had to use "cheaper" oil than i normally do, and well, was doing ~3000rpm+ for 4 hours at a time pretty easily :) Not good for the engine i'm sure.... Mind you, it DID handle the speeds well...... I noticed the noise when we arrived to QLD, and were doing 60k's an hour....... not the usual 110+.... So, after that description :) Can anyone tell me what it might be and what i can check? it's not an injector AFAIK..... however, it only sounds like it is one valve, not all of them, it's an individual ticking......
Thanks :)
Aaron
Merry xmas :)
