Took my car in last Wednesday to have the dealer investigate a weird metallic scraping notice coming from the what seemed to be the top end of the engine at idle. It wasn't consistent, so I was afraid I would get the usual dealer run around that you couldn't recreate the sound. But to my surprise they hear the sound and determine that it was a timing chain guide.


As this afternoon they finally got the part and I should have my car back tomorrow.

• Has anyone else had this type of issue?
• Should I be looking out for anything else once I get the car back?

 

By chance, did this start after an oil change? Sounds like they are doing the TSB 11 15 09, but if your car was built after 4/1 it may not solve it.

 

You're right. Got my car back today and the service invoice indicates TSB 11-9-15 was performed. No more noise and drives great.

 

Good to hear.

 

Is this what causes the infamous ticking noise or is this something else

 

No, and the ticking has never been solved.
