I recently noticed a ticking noise coming from my BMW 1 Series engine. It seems to be more noticeable when the car is idling or at low speeds. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
ReplyIt is possible that the ticking noise is coming from the engine's valves or lifters. They may need to be adjusted or replaced. It could also be an issue with the oil pressure or a worn timing belt. It is best to have a mechanic inspect your car to determine the exact cause.
Have you recently changed your oil? If so, make sure that the correct type and amount of oil was used and that the oil filter was replaced. Using the wrong oil or not enough oil can cause ticking noises in the engine.
Another common cause of ticking noises in BMW 1 Series engines is a faulty fuel injector. This can be fixed by replacing the injector. It is important to address this issue as soon as possible to prevent potential damage to the engine.
