Just dropped my car at the dealer few days ago. When I described the ticking sound service manager immediatly knew what it was. I left a detailed document with history of the noise -- when, how, how many miles were on the car and istructions on how I think the problem can be replicated. I also left a cd in car stereo with the record of the ticking noise. I am attaching one track from this cd here. Hopefully it can help somebody who is wondering about the ticking sound.
Anyway I've got a call from service manager that they were able to hear ticking noise and my car should be ready next week. It is hydraulic valve lifters. I am going to ask for a copy of parts list replaced and will publish it here. Also, I asked sevice manager about long term impact to the engine and was assured there is none.
PS For some reason I can't attach file. I'll try again later.
