Group,
Today while driving home from golf my RS Liberty turbo produced a series of loud 'ticking' noises. The car had 3 guys in it and golf gear, so it was loaded.
I was coming from speedup/merge lane onto the freeway, slight incline, flat out 3rd gear @ max boost 18psi. While at this max boost there was a series of loud 'ticking' sounds . Nothing like tappets, heaps louder, coming from the enginebay area. With the window open it's heaps louder.
Later tonight I tried to reproduce the nosie, which i did. Though i need to be flat out with max boost and underload going up a hill.
Anyone had this before or possibly know what it could be.
Regards, Rod....

Loud 'ticking' noise?
Rod could it be pre detonation. Or is it not that loud. That's about the only thing I could think, since you are flat out, and max boost.

Loud 'ticking' noise?
Rod-
Did you check your oil? I have a pressure leak in cyl.2 and sometimes oil
leaks out of it. I find that when the oil is low enough and i get on the
throttle, i hear an insanely loud tappet noise.
How'd the golf game go?

Jason,
yes i checked the oil. I am now pretty sure it's the engine pinging.
Golf..... had a shocker, very windy and still a little 'off' due to the red
wine and port the night before......
cheers, Rod

Thanks.
