@@nchlswng Revving "any" Cold engine and ANYTIME is not good for ANY vehicle.,as the oil is not up at the top of the engine because oil runs down when is it used and when you shut it off hot....I myself think there is another Inherited problem with BMW engine .

Your one of the most genuine bmw mechanics on TH-cam , I’ve learnt so much from you and to be honest I’m keeping my 07 328xi as it has a slight rough idle but no codes. I wanted to sell it after 5 days of owning it but not anymore, I’m my own mechanic thanks to Dean !! Cheers lad
can we have a reliable petrol engine without rough idle instead? Why we have the problem in first place? perhaps bmw can do better job instead of having this rough idle on all engines. I have the same issue and am super upset. My car has 56k miles and has it already, wtf
I have a 2010 Dodge Journey and this worked like a charm! I just bought this vehicle and was extremely stressed after hearing this sound! I will sleep better tonight because of you man. Thank you!
I am so relieved to hear this worked for you! Firstly I am a registered Nurse, yet where it comes to CARS/ (or man jobs 😂) … I honestly have no idea. I live in Australia as well & find no one i go to LIKES DODGES absolutely no one in my local 40 minutes radius will touch my car! It was thought to ‘timing belt’ but then my usual mechanic who refuses to touch a dodge states ‘ timing belt tensioner kit failed” & needs replacement. He just had a listen to half a dozen areas on top/under engine with a hose type car stethoscope. My mechanic was fabulous never ripped me off, he done the listen check due to no one can be sure what the heck the noise is or say anything other then I need to replace the engine. My mechanic (just regos the car now). I recently took it to JEEP. Spent $1700 trying to find out what the noise is too. INSTEAD TOLD I need to get a second hand engine fitted in it or park it out in the weather next time it hails 🤦♀️ I clarified this noise can’t i just put the tensioner kit in & be done with it? Again advised NO as the timing belt tensioner kit you have to take engine out to get to it to fit it, it’s such a big job they ensured as fact. Going so far to state timing belt tensioner kits cost $3500 then add labor of $2000 = $5500 without consumables (if right word i recall it meant hoses etc are not covered in price quoted). Second hand engine =$5999 😳, Car is worth 💲2 🇦🇺 sounding like this & considering i am on
This worked great for my 4.4 liter BMW. Unfortunately, while holding the engine at 3,000 rpm, I accidentally nudged the gearshift lever into Drive. My vehicle left two burned rubber marks, laid down by the rear tires, and plowed through the lower floor of my home. Fortunately, my family was on the second floor, along with our dog. Funny thing though ... after driving through the house, I managed to put the Shift Lever into the Park position, and got out of the vehicle. - Wouldn't you know? The engine was purring like a kitten, and the lifter tapping noise was gone! Thanks man. You saved me money! 😀👍
hey you shouldve called farmers insurance i bet everything i own youdve been on tv i hope it all worked out for ya gave me a real laugh out loud but felt bad about your house hope it all panned out

Thank you!! Our Mazda campervan made this noise when we started her up about 10 minutes ago... she’s purring again, which is great news because she’s our full-time house!

We’ll get some of the top end treatment like you mentioned and maybe even an oil change sooner than required to keep her in good condition. We appreciate you!! It really spooked us this morning because she’s had trouble starting lately already when it’s cold and rainy and this was a new noise on top of a squeal she had going. Thanks again!
My friend, thank you very much; you've really helped me. I was having that same issue with my 2006 Cadillac DTS; it is now reassuring to know how easy it is to fix. God bless you, my friend.

I've had a ticking from my 2007 2.7 Boxster for months. Ive been worried sick that it was the start of bore scoring! Watched your vid and went for 4th gear thrash down the A2 at 4000rpm. Ticking has stopped. Fingers crossed that its cleared the problem. Big thanks for posting the vid. Not seen this suggestion on any porsche forums.
Interesting video! I hadn't started my E46 330i for a full year. Once I started it, there was a tick. I took the car for a 6 hour drive, almost all highway. When I parked the car at home with fresh gas it was great. Apparently it just need to get the fluids fully circulated to replace the old oil that got crappy and stuck in the hydraulic lifters!
my e70 just started making this sound, freaked me out...about to bring it to the autoshop, found this video and it worked...ticking sound gone....thanks a lot man
‘Bravo Zulu’ this procedure solved the noisy lifter problem on my vintage 2001 BMW 330Ci. I have tried everything I could find in forums and on TH-cam, including the flush suggested by Nathan. This procedure has been added to my weekly preventive maintenance schedule. Thanks mate . . . Best regards, Nat Ray
I have a 2002 330ci convertible 5 speed stick shift with 73000 miles on it. It's a nice fun car. But it has this ticking noise and the check engine light comes on at time. The car has no power as if it's in limp mode when I give it gas after sitting for a minute or so, like at a red light. But if I turn the car off and then on again it goes away almost immediately. Car has a code come up, some p code having to do with cylinder 2. I changed spark plugs and a bad boot. It was good for a couple days then problem Reoccurred. I removed the fuel injecter cleaned it. Problem went away then came back after a few days. Checked coils again, one had a fucked up spring so I changed it. Problem went away for like3 weeks....then came back. I'm not a mechanic but I can do a little. I may have to take it to a shop.
So I pretty much had the exact same issue tonight with my 2004 c320 and it happened on my way home while I was in a school zone going slow, I found this video and I tried it and I only held it out about 1500 RPM to 2000 pretty much around 2000 for about 2 to 3 minutes and at first I didn't think it works and I was burning a bunch of oil so I shut my car off I left it alone for a little bit I came back out and started again about an hour and a half later and it was running just as quiet as it was before and no longer burning oil 😂 so thank you for the great advice I suggest anyone else looking to solve this problem without having to spend money try this first because I was about to buy a new motor 🤣
Thank you mate, just done it on my daughters car, she actually started crying with relief as times are hard at the moment and a buggered car would of been the straw that would of broke the camel’s back ❤
Thanks @BMW Doctor it worked on my 2007 e90 320i N46B20. A true life saver. Rev it up like the doc said for 3 mins and my engine sound is butter now. And here I was going to get the whole timing chain done pay for inspection. Still will get it done next month thou just for the sake of my.sanity and peace of mind. Thanks again Doc!!! Gotcha yaself another subscriber !!!
Thank you! I was working on my wife’s bmw and it was sitting for awhile and when we started it this started to happen. Thank you so much because I thought I fucked up even tho I triple check my work
Whao! It worked for my Toyota camry car like magic. It's amazing. Thanks and God bless you for saving me hundreds of dollars. Respect. Even my mechanic did not know this.
It’s called a “run up” in the aviation sector. Although it’s not used to fix lifter tick it will maximize lubrication and expose issues preflight. So basically if a lifter gets pushed out the valve cover you know you at least saved yourself a tow charge. 😅
excellent, excellent...did the trick on Honda accord. LOVE YOU!! My 09 335d is still down but you were the absolute best for BMWs, helped me with a bunch of issues. BMW had huge amount of carbon buildup from short drives intown, went into limp mode, melted wiring harness, right outside PCM (that little hose blew off and melted it. Replaced wiring harness (pain but done) Will get back at her when possible. unfortunately, let battery die, cleaned manifold, was about to go further and lost my home....shes a beauty when not sick. You are going to help me with getting her back to life, soon.
Great video and terrific free advice! I just did it for my M52tu25 and the ticking nearly disappeared after doing what you just showed here. My question is can I do this again shortly after to try to eliminate totally the ticking noise?
@@BMWDoctor hello i have an bmw e39 1998 m52 520i when on cold start the rpm goes up and down like it gon turn off if you dont hit the gas pedal and the accleration si not constant its good when the car is cold but when it is hot or driven more the accleration is sluggish not enough power but sometimes the power comes back and goes away again no engine light no nothing just not enough power it feels like the car is heavy like a army tank haha i dont know how to explain it better please help doctor
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto good stuff, I used to own a 1998 535i that did this, turned out the anti shudder flap had failed. Once repaired it ran perfect and back to full power.
I have a 2013 bmw 328i xdrive sport and I can gladly say that this solved the problem I had to do it twice each for 2-3 minutes and the issue has been corrected
Thank you for showing us. I'm going to try this to my Macan. Ticking ever since the dealership changed my oil. Today im going to try this. Thanks again.
How long will this fix last for and how often do you think this would have to be done? And is that the natural BMW sound to kind of still sound kind of clicky like when you showed the engine again after getting the engine going for 3 minutes? Sorry for the lack of knowledge! Also, if someone lets the tick go without doing anything about it-can it eventually cause a bigger issue eventually? Thanks man!
If you have the tick every morning, like mine, the only fix is to open the engine and do repairs(very costly). Don’t spend money on additives! If your engine is ticking, your cam boxes are the problem-they are damaged and oil pressure is passing the groove that’s been cut in them, causing low oil pressure to some of the lifters. If you can’t afford to repair the engine, the best you can do, is to just replace your oil every 5000kms. Or sell the car. This is the actual truth. 👍
Many thanks BMW Dr. For posting this . It really helped. I just had the annual servicing and the ticking noise started just after the annual service. I ignored for 2 weeks and my car broke down in the middle of the road. I found this video of yours and followed your procedure and it worked . Many thanks again. I had this ABS flipping and battery light as well. Is that because of ticking problem as well?
In a cold weather + short distances driving, I got the same thicking, even louder on S430 Mercedes V8. So this procedure helped me too, no more ticking. Thanks!
Hyundai i30 owner here. Pretty sure that has fixed my ticking! As a female I thank you. Had to do it longer then u said to. And will see if its still good tomorrow haha but so far so good!
I once bought a mazda 6 that had ticking noise for 500 bucks cause it was ticking after sitting. Worse case scenario lifter or rod bearing. I did revs like this and even higher rpms. Every 5 seconds or so and ticking went away. Sold car for 3k following week 😂😂😂
I had that tick when I went to the Pub I passed out in my parking lot with my foot tramped on the peddle which woke me up 3 hours later tick is gone omg it works 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
My X5 does this after the first start in the morning for about 2 min. I don’t drive it much, I’ve literally only put around 1K miles on it in the past year. I’m going to give this a try. I plan on selling it as soon as possible and I obviously don’t want this happening when someone comes to look at it. Thanks for the upload 👍👍
this fix was perfect, I live in Siberia, and i was always worried about the -30 degrees causing damage to the engine, but after revving my cold engine this ticking was indeed gone, it developed a pretty heavy knocking sound though, but at least the ticks are no more
@@EddieRollindubbs13 what did you think after doing this? I got a 5.7 Grand Cherokee in gonna try this with. Sure it not just loose manifold bolts and when the engine heats, the expansion stops those manifold leaks?
I had this problem on my e46 after 2 years of sitting (was my project car) I couldn't figure out what the problem was, and my powersteering didnt work, I redlined it a couple of times and it both the powersteeing pump started working and the ticking went away. Haven't had any issues since.
Hi BMW doctor, I would like to use Liqui Moly CeraTec for my BMW 5 series as my engine is bit noisy, but in the car booklet it states not to use any oil additive. And i would like to use it so that my engine would last longer. Many thanks
The reason this happens to these engines is because people don't drive the car the way it was built to be driven. BMW engines especially the 6 cylinders are high strung engines. They are designed to be revved high most of the time. If you baby it. You will get the ticking noise from the engine. That's why BMW lifter bleed procedure works. He is correct this is the exact same thing that a BMW technician will do if you bring the car to the dealership. And they will charge you an hour of labor to do it. And probably a diagnosis fee as well. Good info. Save people money.
Thank you so much finally someone who is well spoken knowledgeable and knows what he’s talking about and gets right to the point thank you this is how our TH-cam videos should be made
Thank you very much man ‘ I change the oil like 3 days ago and today I developed a clicking noise I didn’t know what it was ‘ now I know thank you, I was getting worried 😬😬
Thanks for this informative video. Just one question: Should we let the engine warm to operating temperature before performing the procedure? I have the N54 engine.
Yes go for a little drive first then do this method. Also, these engines don't like low rpms boys. Make it a habit to start shifting closer to 2,500 in general. You're not saving yourself by shifting at 1,700 to 'preserve gas mileage' - I have a turbo N54 335is, I had to learn a lot about these machines
Really enjoying your videos, getting an education. I've got a 2008 528i @ 119k miles (pretty sure N52 engine) with this lifter tick noise. It used to stop very shortly after starting the engine but now takes driving around for some time. The tick returns the next day...or if my car is sitting for more than a day or two...ugh! Is this RPM rev procedure a permanent fix. Thoughts welcome. Thx.
Yes this will cure it but make sure you drive it or it will come back at you can do this you need to get your car out and drive it don’t let it sit and if you ain’t changed your oil CHANGE IT that has a big big Effect on the lifters
I had a ticking problem to my Dodge Journey 3.6l 6V and i tried this technique and it fixed it! I'm curious to see for how long it'll last, but as of now, no more ticking!
Ran in to that problem this morning on my M30 motor and was super stressed, i don't know what made me to open your video...very informative cz i left my car for close to 2 weeks and twas cold this side
KUDOS to this man for trying to help out others abroad,i thank you very very much sir,altho im not a bmw owner,i have to compliment you for trying to inform people as i myself did not know about this technique,i dont have any engine ticks but i learned something;i wonder if any mustang gt owners saw this,they need to...again thank you shout out to the UK!!!
Was going to order Liqui Moly Hydraulic Lifter Additive but just watched your video and tried on my daughters 2013 Mini Cooper - seemed to work! Gonna see what it’s like tomorrow on a cold start but so far so good!
BMWs are great cars to drive....until you have to pay through the nose for parts (and repair costs if you aren’t a mechanic with the needed tools). Great tip, though!
Thank you! I’m going to try this. Even if it doesn’t work for me, it’s great to have hope for a while. Does the car have to be stationary? Would it work driving on the motorway at 3000 revs for 3 mins? Great vid by the way.

Reoccurred. I removed the fuel injecter cleaned it. Problem went away then came back after a few days. Checked coils again, one had a fucked up spring so I changed it. Problem went away for like3 weeks....then came back. I'm not a mechanic but I can do a little. I may have to take it to a shop.
@@Perpetuallyoffended did you get it fixed?
Do you think it work with an e34 and M50B20tu engine?
So I pretty much had the exact same issue tonight with my 2004 c320 and it happened on my way home while I was in a school zone going slow, I found this video and I tried it and I only held it out about 1500 RPM to 2000 pretty much around 2000 for about 2 to 3 minutes and at first I didn't think it works and I was burning a bunch of oil so I shut my car off I left it alone for a little bit I came back out and started again about an hour and a half later and it was running just as quiet as it was before and no longer burning oil 😂 so thank you for the great advice I suggest anyone else looking to solve this problem without having to spend money try this first because I was about to buy a new motor 🤣
Thank you mate, just done it on my daughters car, she actually started crying with relief as times are hard at the moment and a buggered car would of been the straw that would of broke the camel’s back ❤
Thanks @BMW Doctor it worked on my 2007 e90 320i N46B20. A true life saver. Rev it up like the doc said for 3 mins and my engine sound is butter now. And here I was going to get the whole timing chain done pay for inspection. Still will get it done next month thou just for the sake of my.sanity and peace of mind. Thanks again Doc!!! Gotcha yaself another subscriber !!!
Thank you! I was working on my wife’s bmw and it was sitting for awhile and when we started it this started to happen. Thank you so much because I thought I fucked up even tho I triple check my work
How about long time results? Did you should do Rev it when Drive it? Or fix it once and for all?
Imagine trying to do this early in the morning with a straight pipe 😂
Whao! It worked for my Toyota camry car like magic.
It's amazing.
Thanks and God bless you for saving me hundreds of dollars.
Respect.
Even my mechanic did not know this.
was it cold when it happened and was ur car sitting for awhile?
It’s called a “run up” in the aviation sector. Although it’s not used to fix lifter tick it will maximize lubrication and expose issues preflight. So basically if a lifter gets pushed out the valve cover you know you at least saved yourself a tow charge. 😅
excellent, excellent...did the trick on Honda accord. LOVE YOU!!
My 09 335d is still down but you were the absolute best for BMWs, helped me with a bunch of issues. BMW had huge amount of carbon buildup from short drives intown, went into limp mode, melted wiring harness, right outside PCM (that little hose blew off and melted it. Replaced wiring harness (pain but done) Will get back at her when possible. unfortunately, let battery die, cleaned manifold, was about to go further and lost my home....shes a beauty when not sick. You are going to help me with getting her back to life, soon.
Great video and terrific free advice! I just did it for my M52tu25 and the ticking nearly disappeared after doing what you just showed here. My question is can I do this again shortly after to try to eliminate totally the ticking noise?
My neighbour's love me ,well used to
😂😂😂 THEY HATE ME because of the exhaust doing this video it was filmed 3am in the morning
@@BMWDoctor hello i have an bmw e39 1998 m52 520i when on cold start the rpm goes up and down like it gon turn off if you dont hit the gas pedal and the accleration si not constant its good when the car is cold but when it is hot or driven more the accleration is sluggish not enough power but sometimes the power comes back and goes away again no engine light no nothing just not enough power it feels like the car is heavy like a army tank haha i dont know how to explain it better please help doctor
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto good stuff, I used to own a 1998 535i that did this, turned out the anti shudder flap had failed. Once repaired it ran perfect and back to full power.
Ticking noise cured without getting your hands dirty what a simple free fix this proves the doctor expertise is unmatched A*.
thanks mate
BMW Doctor awesome channel. Had to subscribe mate.
I have a 2013 bmw 328i xdrive sport and I can gladly say that this solved the problem I had to do it twice each for 2-3 minutes and the issue has been corrected
Thank you for showing us. I'm going to try this to my Macan. Ticking ever since the dealership changed my oil.
Today im going to try this. Thanks again.
You fixed it
I just had my oil changed today, I needed one bad...ticking noise gone a lot, but you can hear just a little. I'm gonna try it...
How long will this fix last for and how often do you think this would have to be done? And is that the natural BMW sound to kind of still sound kind of clicky like when you showed the engine again after getting the engine going for 3 minutes? Sorry for the lack of knowledge!
Also, if someone lets the tick go without doing anything about it-can it eventually cause a bigger issue eventually?
Thanks man!
If you have the tick every morning, like mine, the only fix is to open the engine and do repairs(very costly). Don’t spend money on additives! If your engine is ticking, your cam boxes are the problem-they are damaged and oil pressure is passing the groove that’s been cut in them, causing low oil pressure to some of the lifters.
If you can’t afford to repair the engine, the best you can do, is to just replace your oil every 5000kms. Or sell the car.
This is the actual truth. 👍
Many thanks BMW Dr. For posting this . It really helped. I just had the annual servicing and the ticking noise started just after the annual service. I ignored for 2 weeks and my car broke down in the middle of the road. I found this video of yours and followed your procedure and it worked . Many thanks again. I had this ABS flipping and battery light as well. Is that because of ticking problem as well?
In a cold weather + short distances driving, I got the same thicking, even louder on S430 Mercedes V8. So this procedure helped me too, no more ticking. Thanks!
Hyundai i30 owner here. Pretty sure that has fixed my ticking! As a female I thank you. Had to do it longer then u said to. And will see if its still good tomorrow haha but so far so good!
@@samanthajones3104 did it go away for good? And how long did you have to do it for?
I liked the video, but is this procedure for BMW cars only or for all kind of cars with the same problem? Thanks man...
I once bought a mazda 6 that had ticking noise for 500 bucks cause it was ticking after sitting. Worse case scenario lifter or rod bearing. I did revs like this and even higher rpms. Every 5 seconds or so and ticking went away. Sold car for 3k following week 😂😂😂
Lol good one
I had that tick when I went to the Pub I passed out in my parking lot with my foot tramped on the peddle which woke me up 3 hours later tick is gone omg it works 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I did that after 10 pints of beer. Woke to find puke down my chest and a big hole in the crank case with bits of big end buried in the rad.
My friend's let's have a pint
I'm so glad you told us it was a free tip, I was just overhearing it ;-)
Wow! Had this ticking noise for a while on my 2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 and it worked like a charm. Engine running quiet now. Thanks mate.
My X5 does this after the first start in the morning for about 2 min. I don’t drive it much, I’ve literally only put around 1K miles on it in the past year. I’m going to give this a try. I plan on selling it as soon as possible and I obviously don’t want this happening when someone comes to look at it. Thanks for the upload 👍👍
this fix was perfect, I live in Siberia, and i was always worried about the -30 degrees causing damage to the engine, but after revving my cold engine this ticking was indeed gone, it developed a pretty heavy knocking sound though, but at least the ticks are no more
Man you're just damned unlucky - Mine locked up completely so no ticking, AND no knocking - and all for free, using no oils/fluids nor nuffink
This worked for my 2003 Dodge Durango💯 it works for all lifters. Thanks for the knowledge 💯
I got a Dodge Durango 2012 ima try this
@@EddieRollindubbs13 what did you think after doing this?
I got a 5.7 Grand Cherokee in gonna try this with. Sure it not just loose manifold bolts and when the engine heats, the expansion stops those manifold leaks?
@@Need2Build did it work?
Did it work where did u buy it
Your method fixed my 2017 Mazda CX-5 lifter noise, thank you so much!
Does this really work?
@@dylanpresley3079 yep
I've experienced this on BMWs and just switched to 0W-40 or 0W-30 oil and solved it - it's a problem on cold engines when the oil is thicker
That’s after you topped up the oil right? I think I was running on empty oil for about a week that’s why the noise started
Worked on my e46 2.5l however it only lasted a few weeks, then started ticking on startup again
Change oil
Your the boss, thank you. This trick worked on my 2014 BMW!! Mini COOPER.!!.
Does this work for other car brands too? Like a Hyundai?
Here from the State. Thank you for keeping the community up on details with our making it complicated. 👍👍👍
Your welcome mate it’s you guys I do this for
Thank you so much! I had this issue on my Volvo since about half a year, tried this and it has gone, I’m so happy that my car sounds good again
What Volvo, i have ticking on my Volvo aswel
@@kribz4576me to! Have you tried this?
I didn't need this vid but I'm glad i found this TH-cam channel, just wish there was a little more e82 e88 content
Thats what everyone recommend in our Forums ;) Let it fly 50km :)
I had this problem on my e46 after 2 years of sitting (was my project car) I couldn't figure out what the problem was, and my powersteering didnt work, I redlined it a couple of times and it both the powersteeing pump started working and the ticking went away. Haven't had any issues since.
any updates? I have an e46 as well with the same tick. Has it returned? You revved for 3 minutes?
@@Elvis_Kunda how do you redline it ? And you do you remember if it overheated?
Hi BMW doctor, I would like to use Liqui Moly CeraTec for my BMW 5 series as my engine is bit noisy, but in the car booklet it states not to use any oil additive. And i would like to use it so that my engine would last longer. Many thanks
Amazing tip brother. Thank you! Worked for my 2013 328ix N20 engine. Engine is quiet and smooth now. 👍🏽
The reason this happens to these engines is because people don't drive the car the way it was built to be driven. BMW engines especially the 6 cylinders are high strung engines. They are designed to be revved high most of the time. If you baby it. You will get the ticking noise from the engine. That's why BMW lifter bleed procedure works. He is correct this is the exact same thing that a BMW technician will do if you bring the car to the dealership. And they will charge you an hour of labor to do it. And probably a diagnosis fee as well. Good info. Save people money.
Good job .we need people like you on TH-cam.👍
thanks very much mate
Thanks for sharing this simple procedure, much appreciated!
Thank you so much finally someone who is well spoken knowledgeable and knows what he’s talking about and gets right to the point thank you this is how our TH-cam videos should be made
Thanks. It worked on a dodge avenger 3.6 2013. Quiet as a baby again.
Thank you very much man ‘ I change the oil like 3 days ago and today I developed a clicking noise I didn’t know what it was ‘ now I know thank you, I was getting worried 😬😬
Thank you for this lesson man. God praise you to help us others. 👍🏽💪🏽
Your welcome
Your god helps engine problems but not people in ukraina,what a joke stick your god in your a
Thanks for this informative video. Just one question: Should we let the engine warm to operating temperature before performing the procedure? I have the N54 engine.
Got the same problem on the n54 but didnt do it yet. Did it work on yours ?
Yes go for a little drive first then do this method.
Also, these engines don't like low rpms boys. Make it a habit to start shifting closer to 2,500 in general. You're not saving yourself by shifting at 1,700 to 'preserve gas mileage'
- I have a turbo N54 335is, I had to learn a lot about these machines
Thank you so much for you doing this video. I just fixed mine on my 2016Qx80. Awesome!!!!
You the best🔥. Bought a second hand e90 N52 BMW and having one down here is a total headache but I have you as my pain killer😂!! love from Africa❤️❣️
Does this apply to other car brands? Like toyota and nissan?
I thought I messed up my car, thank you!
You briefly mentioned it, but I just wanted to confirm. You perform the procedure with every oil change? Great video!
no I dont I said this ticking only comes when oil is fully broken down and needs changing this is how I know its broken down as soon as ticking comes
Yes. Thanks Doc!
Amazing! Worked on a 2014 Buick! So many thanks!!
Fixed my 23 plate Octavia 1.5 tsi after two tries! Thank u sir!!
Omg!! This worked on my 07 328xi!! That sound has been annoying me for so long!! Thank you!!
Really enjoying your videos, getting an education. I've got a 2008 528i @ 119k miles (pretty sure N52 engine) with this lifter tick noise. It used to stop very shortly after starting the engine but now takes driving around for some time. The tick returns the next day...or if my car is sitting for more than a day or two...ugh! Is this RPM rev procedure a permanent fix. Thoughts welcome. Thx.
Yes this will cure it but make sure you drive it or it will come back at you can do this you need to get your car out and drive it don’t let it sit and if you ain’t changed your oil CHANGE IT that has a big big Effect on the lifters
Dean, what a great video. THE DOCTOR HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
your welcome bruda
Lol I would rev it anyways. If I’m gonna buy 160+ speedometer I’m going to use it on autobahn
I had a ticking problem to my Dodge Journey 3.6l 6V and i tried this technique and it fixed it! I'm curious to see for how long it'll last, but as of now, no more ticking!
THNXS but it this safe/risky do do with BMW 1 series 118i (E87) 06 modell N46B20 egine? I will try it and update later but safe to do on my car?
I have a 2016 Dodge journey v6. Just developed a small tick. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
Ran in to that problem this morning on my M30 motor and was super stressed, i don't know what made me to open your video...very informative cz i left my car for close to 2 weeks and twas cold this side
Worked on my Renault modus
Thanks. Feel I owe you something.
No problem mate glad it helped you
Great video! I noticed you said two to three minutes but it looks like you held it for 6 min. How long at 3k rpm do you recommend? Thanks again mate!
My lawn mower was ticking guide loudly, after trying this the ticking quit, right after the loud bang, thanks
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BMWDoctor does it work for mercedes?
KUDOS to this man for trying to help out others abroad,i thank you very very much sir,altho im not a bmw owner,i have to compliment you for trying to inform people as i myself did not know about this technique,i dont have any engine ticks but i learned something;i wonder if any mustang gt owners saw this,they need to...again thank you shout out to the UK!!!
Was going to order Liqui Moly Hydraulic Lifter Additive but just watched your video and tried on my daughters 2013 Mini Cooper - seemed to work! Gonna see what it’s like tomorrow on a cold start but so far so good!
You’re awesome bro!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤙🏽
Aren't they supposed to bleed under normal driving?
idk but the dealer does the same
BMWs are great cars to drive....until you have to pay through the nose for parts (and repair costs if you aren’t a mechanic with the needed tools).
Great tip, though!
Thanks and you are correct luckily for me I’m very very very skilled with these cars so parts and repairs is like running a old reliant robin for me
I hated working on cars before but after owning a BMW I learned how to change fuel pumps, spark plugs, oil change, hoses, you get the point.
Thank you! I’m going to try this. Even if it doesn’t work for me, it’s great to have hope for a while.
Does the car have to be stationary? Would it work driving on the motorway at 3000 revs for 3 mins?
Great vid by the way.
