Anyway the idle is definitely markedly improved. I'm trying hard to feel the rhythmic pulsating but it's way more subtle/non-existant. I think the coil pack fixed it. At least to my butt. I will do the fuel filter anyway since I bought it already. BUT in trying to fix the idle I suddenly noticed the engine ticks like mad. Cold and Hot. The noise is near the rocker cover / intake side / injectors? Front side, cylinder/injectors 1-2-3 only. I don't know if I was just deaf to it before or not. Could have been there the entire time. Can't hear it inside the car but lift the bonnet and tick tick tick tick tick... Reading up on it suggests lifters?? Oil is topped up. I have Mobil Semi Syn 10W-40 in it. Been in there only 4000km but for 6 months. Going to do a change. Have Valvoline Semi Syn 15W-40 lying around. Should I go thinner to attack sticky lifters or thicker? Also going to try one of those additives... Recommendations?? |
