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 |

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 |

Duncan 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 |

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?
