I recently purchased a BMW X7 and have noticed that the engine starts making a ticking noise after driving for a while. This noise doesn't seem to affect performance, but I'm concerned about the health of my engine. What could be causing this ticking noise and should I be worried?
ReplyHi Emily, congratulations on your new BMW X7! The ticking noise you're hearing is most likely caused by a faulty hydraulic lifter. This component is responsible for controlling the valve movement and can cause a ticking noise when it malfunctions. My advice would be to take your car to a certified mechanic to have them inspect and potentially replace the hydraulic lifter.
Hi Emily, it's common for some BMW X7 engines to make a ticking noise due to a loose engine mount. It could also be caused by low engine oil levels. I recommend checking your oil level and tightening any loose engine mounts. If the noise persists, it's best to have a professional take a look.
