[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 2908949, member: 6727"] One thing I did not point out is that of all the '03/'04 issues, the "tick" is probably at the top. So there is a bit of paranoia related to it. Any perceived ticking noise to often misdiagnosed by the owner as being a head issue. As RedfireSVT pointed out, there are a few mechanical (normal) noises that could be the source of the ticking sound. The most usual is common fuel injector noise. It is actually not as loud as the genuine tick sound. And unfortunately not all dealers diagnose it properly, so having a dealer look at your car will not guarantee that you have it or don't have it. More often than not someone experienced with the tick issue is the one to catch it. It would help, if you go to your dealer, to ask if they have diagnosed this particular issue in the past. I understand completely your concern. Just don't get paranoid. Best of luck with your car. [/QUOTE]
