Engine rattling

[Megaziggy]

Hi! I'm newbie here 🙂

Purchased Lexus IS 200 few days ago, on test drive engine seamed ok, but after few days i stared to hear rattling noise from engine...

not sure maybe it's normal.... Please advise 🙂

Take it back to the Dealer you bought it from and tell him to fix the problem at his cost.

It was private seller mate 😞 It's my problem now 😖😖😖

Just an update on this, when engine is cold it's sounds normal... So i suspect wrong viscosity oil...

Doesn’t sound good at all, I initially thought it was a diesel engine!

It may be worth changing the oil and filter but I’m not confident it will sort the issue.

About diesel same thoughts here 😅😅😅

Yes will change oil and give feedback

Could someone with same car and engine give advice? How bad is it from what it should be 😅

Hi,

Check and adjust the valve clearances. If the gaps are too big, the valves sound like your car's.

Change the engine oil and filter, make sure you choose an oil to the manufacturer's viscosity and SAE specifications.

Hi again! Thanks to everyone for reply 🙂

Noise was coming from cam belt pulley 🙂

Fitted new kit and noise gone!
