NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted October 12, 2020 130i people probably know this but once the cars warm hold it at 3k rpm for 3 mins to get oil circulation up into the lifters. Resolves lifter tick from too many short runs, or car sitting around. If it's still going then you've got a more serious problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted October 12, 2020 Mine hasn't ticked for months since I started using it daily. It's still a tapety sounding engine in general though, if you know what I mean. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to do this quite often when I was driving the 1km to the train station last year. Tap Tap = Lifter Tick Tick = Injector Knock Knock = Who's there?

Jacko 2154 Report post Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) White auto LCI with bent chassis rail on faceballs for $1k at moment, looks like a decent parts car Edited October 25, 2020 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah something looks whacky, exhausts definitely bent, and the badge being stuck back on suggests rear end respray... has it got the wrong profile tyres or something on it, I agree... looks off.
