Hi all,
Three problems I have to diagnose. I'm on 83 000 kms, and motorplan expires this year.
There are three symptoms I currently have on the car:
1) Raspy noise on cold starts, I suspect something like heat shielding or exhaust parts. Happens only on starts and when the car is cold, usually gone after the first km of driving.
2) Under some conditions when using clutch at low revs the car makes a stuttering noise, similar to marbles in an ice cream box. Any clues?
3) On general idle, there's that ticking noise which I somehow always associated with BMW engines in older models. I know the E30's in large engine sizes used to make the same ticking noise.
I would like to take the car in for a good checkup now, and for a last check before going out of MP, so would want these things sorted.
If any of you can tell me what I need to tell the dealer in order to have this sorted ASAP it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
