I have a ticking noise on idle I recorded the video but can't get it to repeat for the dealer any ideas I'm getting everything from lifters to hp fp to low oil and even it's normal but it only happens once in a bit but it sounds bad advice

Push the clutch in the next time you hear it and see if it goes away. ( if you have a manual 6-spd)

I doubt pushing the clutch in will make it go away. I believe, usually, the 'normal' ticking is only idle. If you rev the engine a bit does it go away?
