Ticking noise
Ticking noise
I have a 55 plate 3.0d x5 just heard tonight a continuous ticking noise sounds like it's coming from the underneath of the car at the passengers side any advice?? Also check coolant level warning message comes on the dash but not all the time!
Ticking noise
Hi
Reference the noise don't panic this is perfectly normal it the pre heater that kicks in when the outside temp drops below a certain level. Sounds like a ticking bomb but does turn off when it gets warmer
As for the coolant level this will need checking
