Hi there everyone

I Have just brought 96 rs4 stag with 140000km on the clock and i have had it for about a week now and today the engine has just started to make a ticking/clicking noise. The fequency of the noise gets faster as the revs increase and i have seemed to located the noise to back of the motor toward the firewall by putting a screw driver against the motor and putting my ear against it. I have a 12 month warrenty on the car so it will be getting fixed anyway but just wanted to know if it could be something serious or anyone had any ideas on what it could be. I have a video of it for you guys to listen to also..

Thanks

Is that the diesel RS4? :P

Sounds like the lifters are shagged, apparently the hydraulic lifters can be cleaned or they will just replace them. Take it back and let the mechanic listen to it.

Haha sure does sound like a diesel just glad it's not smoking like one.

But thanks does sound like it could be the lifters after doing a bit more research on it

Just for one other thing to check, is there any chance the plugs are fouled?

Yeah it's possible. Although the guy I got it off said he had had it serviced when he got it but he also said it had been sitting on the lot not doing much for a few months. So yeah maybe some of the plugs could be corroded and stuffed

Thanks

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
