Hello all.
23 CT5-BW - 5000 miles 6MT
Maybe it's just me driving myself insane but after seeing other posts of engines giving out and being one of the few that it has happened to, I'm just wondering if anyone has any clips of what the engine is supposed to sound like, any data on the oil pressure and where it should sit (seems like I can't get mine past 50PSI when I'm hard on it and it's warm). I've just got extreme anxiety of this car since my engine spun a bearing at 288 miles. I'm mainly looking to see if this engine tick is pretty normal (Seems like just a really loud lifter or something) and if anyone else can send me a clip of what their car sounds like. I mainly hear it underneath the car, not so much from one side of the engine bay when I popped the hood. I pushed the accelerator down to about 2k and it goes away but sitting at idle it seems to tick pretty loud. I'd love to hear what everyone else's 5BWs sound like engine wise and where everyone else is sitting in terms of oil pressures. I understand there's warranty and I'm very thankful they paid out on my first motor but it's definitely not fun to live in fear of my car popping again....
At the end of the day a car is a car and they break, I just don't want to constantly be on edge waiting for it to break.
If I'm just being a paranoid schizophrenic you can tell me that too lol.
Just want to know what everyone's oil pressures are at idle and driving, and that I'm not about to pop another motor driving it on a longer trip.
