Hallo all.
A week ago our family got a new used Auris sport tourer 1.6 valvematic 132 hp. And it runs great. It is a 2014 with 13.000 km on the clock.
It does however have a noise from the engine that worries me a bit. It is a tapping/knocking noise that's sounds like it is coming from the back of the cylinder head. It goes away when you raise the rpm's. it it only notacible when the bonnet is open. But quite clear to hear when the bonnet is open. I have found videos of other valvematic engines on YouTube, that has that sound. But no one can say if it normal or bad. I do however have a hard time believing that a Toyota engine will develop engine knocking in 13000 km. I cannot find anything on Danish websites( I am Danish )
But what does the experts here say? Any one here have an idea what I might be facing?
Thanks you all.
And have a great day. 😊
Søren
