The ticking only happens under load and stops about 4000rpm.The car is completely stock, I only run 98 octane fuel most of the time BP ultimate so I doubt its pinging. I dont really notice any power loss but it just sound odd and im wondering is it possible to have the heat shield rattle? or could it be the wastegate opening and closing rapidly? Ive done numerous solenoid lubes. It stops when the engine has been warmed up properly BTW it only happens when under load it doesnt do it when reeving in neutral or park.Any suggestions?

I undid the exhaust manifold bolts and retightened them and that did not fix it. any other ideas? or know of somewhere I can take my car around brissy to have a look at it?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
