Cold start heard the ticking sound for the first time on warm up, drove the vehicle, oil pressure ok between 4 and 5 but then subsided to 3 on drive to garage slowly, oil temperature fluctuated slightly going up (3rd to 4th bar) and then down within a couple of minutes then no movement as per normal on a normal drive, something I'd never witnessed before (jumped up and then down)
So I believe it is the oil lifters after investigating, no doubt 1 or two have collapsed or maybe a few stuck (I doubt)
I had just topped up the oil, and in June will be 2 years from the last service covering 7000 km
Would it be wise to drop the oil and look for old lifter seals, will they be seen in the oil ?
Any help on doing this fix or experienced mechanics may well say let Porshe or Independent do it ??,
I have access to a lift so could drop the engine or I've heard in can be done on the lift working underneath
Main concerning is get the timing position correct, will look to replace chain and tensioners at the same time
Would appreciate a cost on this oil lifters, timing chain and tensioners replaced
Any other help or advice very much appreciated
Personally feel it's a trip to the garage an invoice showing the work done for future sale confidence to the buyer...... thoughts ?
