Well I was hoping 3rd time lucky so had another oil change, (I think my engine has had the most expensive flush ever,)first 1,was castrol edge 0w30 approx 200miles, 2, was mobile 1 turbo diesel 0w40 approx 50 miles, now Titan gti pro c3 5w30 xt, the ticking noise is still there I think the Mobil 1 masked the noise some what but having the correct grade oil helps me sleep at night, I will just book it in to have the ticking assessed and go from there.
