Mashlee08 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi there everyone I Have just brought 96 rs4 stag with 140000km on the clock and i have had it for about a week now and today the engine has just started to make a ticking/clicking noise. The fequency of the noise gets faster as the revs increase and i have seemed to located the noise to back of the motor toward the firewall by putting a screw driver against the motor and putting my ear against it. I have a 12 month warrenty on the car so it will be getting fixed anyway but just wanted to know if it could be something serious or anyone had any ideas on what it could be. I have a video of it for you guys to listen to also.. Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407175-rb25det-tickingclicking-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Is that the diesel RS4? Sounds like the lifters are shagged, apparently the hydraulic lifters can be cleaned or they will just replace them. Take it back and let the mechanic listen to it.

Haha sure does sound like a diesel just glad it's not smoking like one. But thanks does sound like it could be the lifters after doing a bit more research on it Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407175-rb25det-tickingclicking-noise/#findComment-6491016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just for one other thing to check, is there any chance the plugs are fouled? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407175-rb25det-tickingclicking-noise/#findComment-6491111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashlee08 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just for one other thing to check, is there any chance the plugs are fouled? Yeah it's possible. Although the guy I got it off said he had had it serviced when he got it but he also said it had been sitting on the lot not doing much for a few months. So yeah maybe some of the plugs could be corroded and stuffed Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407175-rb25det-tickingclicking-noise/#findComment-6491197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty nm35 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If he just serviced it I would be dropping the cheap shitty oil he put in and trying some decent 10W40 first.
