[QUOTE="Buggywhips, post: 14699909, member: 157885"] As I understand it the 2011-2012 had a similar noise but was more towards the front of the engine and a TSB was issued for a tensioner and/or the AC belt (stretchy belt you mentioned). The 2013's and 2014's tick usually isn't resolved with either of the 2011-2012 fixes. My noise sounded exactly like the video and commonly described as the BBQ tick. I put my car up on jack stands with it running and me underneath it with a stethoscope. The tick was definitely coming from the lower rear of the drivers side. I tried XL17 to no avail. I tried switching to Amsoil oil and filter, changing oil weights, different oil filter types, and even a couple different additives and none fixed the issue at all. Is your car an auto or manual? When they had my car apart I had free access to the shop as I had befriended the Service Manager and Shop Foreman. I picked up my clutch disc and found the springs in the clutch plate extremely lose. I shook the disk and the springs rattled with a similar noise and I wondered to myself if the springs were the culprit. After they found the bearing issues I kept my mouth shut about it because I wanted to make sure nothing stopped the progress being made. When I came to pick up my car with the new engine installed the Shop Foreman came to me and said he wondered if the clutch disk wasn't the culprit but he kept quiet for the same reasons. [/QUOTE]
