Hi all-
Just got the X back from the 24k mile checkup. I had them check into the noise that I've been obsessing about lately- kind of a cross between a tick and a knock under load.
After comparing these sounds to a "normal" OHV engine (don't know how they do that) they determined that it was the carbon buildup. They ran the cleaner through it (3 bottles from what I can tell from the write up) and although it seems a little quieter, it's still making the noise.
I think I'm relatively comfortable in knowing that "this feature is by design" as Microsoft usually says in their tech bulletins. However, they charged me $30 for the cleaning. Do you guys think this should have been covered under warranty, or is it considered "wear and tear"? I like this dealership and didn't want to be an a**hole and question everything.
Just wondering.
And now that these noises have been declared normal, it's time to start the mods *insert evil laugh here* (as time and very little money permit!)...
