Ticking noise (cam area) with videos

[Paul.M]

Hi all

I'm currently suffering with quite a loud ticking noise from the engine of my 182.

Car is on 105k now and had all belts and dephaser pulley changed last april so I'm hoping it isn't to do with the dephaser.

Last week I changed the oil and filter for Titan race pro S (5w40), it only seemed to start after this? it may just be a characteristic of the oil but I would like to make sure.

The car doesn't appear to feel down on power at all when driving, it seems to get faster with the revs but I have only held it up to about 2k, can't seem to hear it over normal driving noise.

There are two videos of the actual engine below, it seems to be coming from the actual engine as opposed to carbon canister area.





And also one from the exhaust as it is also misfiring which I could do with getting to the bottom of, this only started happening after new lambada sensors were fitted so those running correctly has probably highlighted the other problem.



Any ideas of where to start would be brilliant, I've sat and read all sorts of threads today for different ideas and my heads full of allsorts now!

Thanks

Paul

It sounds like one of the hydraulic lifters.
Did you use a genuine Renault oil filter?

Mine used to do that. Had new cams and cambelt and it went away.

They were one of the possibilties I was reading into, yes genuine filters have been used on the last 3 services I have done on the car, it only seemed to happen after it was all changed though so could a loose filter cause it im any way maybe? Just fishing for ideas now.

I would recommend one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-Pr...343?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5672b6d1cf
If the filter was loose then there would be oil leaking out?
My exhaust sounds the same as yours rs192 with standard cat ,centre silencer, rs tuner 98ron map so does my engine. I used the above tool on the cam cover its a lifter on mine. 65000miles and 5w40 oil change every 6k with genuine filter. The 197and 200 engines sound similar.

@flebay I'll get on to one of the specialists I think, this type of stuff is a bit deeper than my knowledge goes, thanks for your help

Check the spark plugs are tight. Mine have come loose a couple of times even at the correct torque.
And makes that sound when they are loose.
also seen it on a few other cars, where it sounds alot more serious then that.

How did you get on Paul?

How did you get on Paul?

I haven't looked into it any further at present buddy, everything I read/was advised on was pointing towards nothing destructive happening and the car appears to be running okay so I've just been plodding on for now, I'll keep an eye on it and if it gets worse I'll do something more proactive about it.

Hows yours doing?

Yea mine is running very well at the mo! Got a slight exhaust leak though which I am hoping is the cause behind my ticking noise haha
