I have a quick question. I have an x308 Sport 2002 3.2 that has a ticking in the engine that I want to get sorted. It's be great if anyone knew of a mechanic in the Dublin area that could take care of this. Here's a video of the ticking:
Thanks for your help!

 

I've copied your question from UK & Eire Region for advice on the cause from members with the same model.

Hard to tell on video if that is a noisy valve, connecting rod bearing, or just an exhaust leak at the manifold. Does it get louder or change sound as you rev the engine?

 

Honestly, sounds like noisy injectors to me. Pretty normal for an Aj26.

 

From the top of the engine, it does sound like injectors, but from underneath it sounds mechanical.
No VVT on the 3.2 so that isn't the issue.
How many miles? Have you tried an oil change, checked the front of the engine for sticky belts or ancillary bearings?
Failing that, it may need the valve clearance checking.

 

+1 noisy injectors. Try a cleaner (Gumout, Lucas, BG44, etc).
