Thanks but I think ours and your engine ticking is different sound. Ours don't happen when the car is at idle nor when gas pedal was depressed in neutral gear. But a copy of your service order would be appreciated. Thanks
Mine happened when driving in gear as well, just harder to hear due to wind noise / drivetrain noise!
There have been tons of people with that ticking noise and no found diagnosis and fix. I will be interested to hear if it comes back on your car when the weather gets warmer. The ticking had been known to disappear in the winter and return in the spring as temperature heat up. If yours is truly fixed then we shall all rejoice, but doesn't sound like an easy DIY.
