Increased tapping sound after service.

MJ80. · 11-02-2016, 06:03 AM

Hey blokes what would cause a noticeable increase in the typical n54 tapping/ticking after a service and walnut blast ? Its pretty noticeable now and im wondering what could have brought it on directly after the service and blast, new plugs too.

Probably a different oil viscosity from before.

Thats what i was thinking too, quizzed the mechanic and he said they used a 5w30. Cant say what was in it before unfortunately as its the first service since ive owned it.
