Ticking sound over 4000rpm, driver's side

Super Tanooki · 04-05-2011, 07:53 PM

Ticking sounds just disappeared on its own, but I took it to the dealership anyway because the oil level was low. It turns out they had no record of having ever changed the oil, despite them specifically telling me that they change the oil in every used car they get in before selling it. I had them do an oil consumption test anyway just to make sure.

On another note, I FINALLY got my dealership to acknowledge my "normal" vibrating clutch, and they've agreed to throw in a new throw-out bearing and clutch cover. That, I pray to the stars, should hopefully rid me of the annoying knocking I get from the pedal.

Glad to hear the noise has disappeared on its own. Ticking/tapping sounds at various rpms can sometimes be exhaust leaks. Happened to me after installing my hfc b/c we didn't tighten down one of bolts enough

Its scary they didn't have a record of changing the oil after they told you it was changed though!
