Engine tick/rattle

   In my old E36 328i, the clicking noise was to do with the heating system - harmless. A wee component at the back right of the engine near the firewall. May well be the same thing?

	Duncan When I start the car from cold and she runs the choke off, its like a cyclical noise if that makes sense, like a cam ticking. It doesn't really go away when warm, can be heard when I pull up 2 the lights, sounds bad. She going 2 mechanics in the morn, would be useful 2 hav idea of the problem. Thanks 4 the comment ! John P.S it seems to be coming from the right rear of the engine, if u were sitting in the car ! Flywheel maybe ??????? Edited by John_boy

	John, not that many 130s on the board but plenty of folk with experience of BMW's straight 6. Can you be a bit more descriptive? Where does the noise come from? Is it steady or cyclical? Does it go away once the car warms up? Cheers, Duncan

	Hi there, I have recently aquired a 130i msport, great car, but it has developed a ticking/rattle noise when started from cold. The noise seems to be getting worse, can anyone help, or has anyone experienced this before ! thanks
