So I just made a comment on another post about horrible engine noise (rsg123) and said for me the noise would come and then go away after a few minutes. Well today it was back and never went off! It just came on at a stop light, so embarrassing to drive with that loud as noise that just gets louder the higher your RPMs. I just had the oil changed 3 days ago too, so it shouldn't be that. I now have it at the dealership and ill post the outcome when I hear it....

Sounds like the diverter valve went out because of low blinker fluid. Hope the dealer warranties it lol rofl

Oh - forgot to add - that sucks man...now that I hear it like that it sounds like a lifter bucket and or shim went south.

Hopefully they figure it out post haste

GOOD NEWS!!

Dealership diagnosed it as a 'lower engine knock' and is now going to replace the engine. Thank goodness for the factory warrenty

In all my years working there I have never seen a lower end knock like that, or at least one that just stated with that type of noise lower end knocks are usually much more progressive.
