What's the mileage on the car? 140k and tbf ive never fully checked, but that was after a motorway drive of about 60 miles, i think it does do it cold too, but id have to check.

Steve Q Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Listening to the video there seems to be a slight whine noise too. The tapping does seem loud, but it's definitely worth checking to see if it happens when engine is warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
