I see you never going to be easy on the pedal Grin

imo try this so called "snake oil additives" like slick 50, motor up, duralube,prolong, restore etc .. I have been personally using some of them for more than 250K miles (total) on all of my cars and never ever witnessed a problem.. And must say some of them were modded (cylinder head) and when we opened the engine it was shining like new.. Huh

Unfortunately nowadays they are really expensive here so I'm using a cheap one with teflon additive.

forget about their loosing courts etc.. big oil companies are always strong and they will always win against competitors Angry

hope you will get them sorted soon Thumbs Up!

Apr 2010 at 13:29 frequency and location (louder on drivers side) sound almost exactly the same, but more aggressive. again not present while cranking but present to very last rotation. so yes, same, but worse. afaict. nearer the noisy lifter type noise i had on mine but still not quite the same.

In reality, I reckon its noiser passenger side, though that doesn't really come through on the vid.

Apr 2010 at 17:41 That sounds like a heavier noise to me, but difficult to tell, TBH. Worth trying cutting each cylinder on Tech 2? Is it still running on 6? Certainly sounds like it is. If you pull the crank sensor and turn it over on the starter is there any knocking? Kevin
