Alright so our MZ3 doesn't even have 1k miles on it yet and I noticed a peculiar noise coming from the engine bay. I only noticed it after we had come home from a long drive. I had just shut off the radio, wife got out of the car and let our dogs out from the back seat and then went in the house where I then was going to pull the car into the garage for the night when I then noticed the sound. I'm guessing I didn't hear it during the drive because the radio and the conversations we were having. I would describe it as a frequent clacking. After I pulled the car into the garage I popped the hood and listened intently. Its definitely coming from underneath the engine cover. I didn't pull out my mechanic stethoscope, but I may tomorrow afternoon. I am assuming it may be just normal valvetrain noise, but it seemed a little loud for that. First thing I checked was the oil after I shut the engine off. Definitely enough there. I would assume that dealerships would have covered that with a pre-delivery audit anyway.
So with all that I guess my question is... do you guys hear that noise from your cars? Is this normal? Being this is a new car I would have expected not to have issues like this; especially since the MZ3's comes so highly recommended from everything I read.
