This noise....Um?
 

Any ideas?

Drivers Side

A ticking sound.

Attached video.

I feel like I should bump this. I don't have the opportunity to get to my dealer today and I'm looking for ideas here..

pretty sure that's normal on the v6's.

That seems louder then normal to me.

usually sounds louder in a garage.

I can't see the video, but....

1. Rock stuck in tire. (if driving)
2. Exhaust manifold /header gasket leak.
3. Lifter.
4. Friend put zip tie on driveshaft to screw with you.

I vote for exhaust gasket problem

Ill be getting the exhaust replaced by mid week at the latest but ill be swinging by the dealership in the morning for them to look at it.

Make sure you get it checked out before changing the exhaust so they cannot say you caused the issue.

Definitely will.


Might I ALSO add, the ticking is ONLY on the drivers side. Not the passenger side as well.

Like poorman said these cars do tick, but your tick just seems a bit loud to me. It may be just be the mic and it may be normal.

If its only the driver side it is most likely your fuel pump. The V6 has a high pressure fuel pump, but if its under warranty get it checked out anyway.

My impatience made me leave and head to the dealership. My advisor (43 years in the business) said exactly that. High pressure fuel pump.
