OK, dude.
Almost a month after I first complained about the tapping / ticking noise, this morning, it got a little loud for my wife and I to all hear.
But before I go have it looked at, can i confirm a few things with you?
1) We noticed that the Ticking noise is now audible from inside the car, with the windows all up. Previously it wasn't very clear.
2) The ticking noise goes faster like 'Tak, tak, tak, tak, tak" when I press the accelerator, and when I release the pedal, the noise pace drops to a lesser pace like 'Tak,..Tak,..Tak..'. Hope you understand, Tech.
3) I remembered the Pan O-Ring writeup, I read that it's a simple wear and tear matter, but what is the cost of delaying this repair? Any high risk? I need to go for a slightly long trip about 100kms on Sunday, and today's Friday. So, should I get it fixed before the trip or is this something that can be delayed?
4) Any other thing that may need to be fixed or replaced, while the mechanic/technician fixes the O-Ring?
Thanks, dude!
