Do you live somewhere with cold seasons? I've had this car about 3 months and live in NY...it didn't start doing this until the temperature dropped recently. Now when its about 55-60 degrees outside it makes the noise. Could just be coincidence also. I also noticed that there is a correlation between oil pressure and the noise. When the oil temp is around 170, the oil pressure at idle will be 40psi and the ticking noise is there. When the oil temp is 200, the oil pressure lowers to about 20psi at idle and the noise cant be heard. So i guess out of curiosity, what is your oil pressure at idle?
