Hi!!

Did you hear the ticking noise with a warm engine only? Or was it ticking even on cold ?

I have similar situation, yesterday changed my oil but only when engine warms up, I can hear little 'diesel-like' noise when idle.

This seems to be the exact same situation that I have posted about in a separate thread in this section. Now should I change the plugs then oil and try and eliminate the problem via the cheaper options first and if all else fails take it to one of my local indys in the Wolvo area?
