Thx for the update!
Did the service manager tell you anything that the valve train noise causes any damage until it is fixed via some software update ?
Thx..This is what I had in mind. Funny thing is, I tested a few hours later..does not smell like gas that much..although I did not move the car for 3 days.
Anyways..I'll keep an eye on it.

As far as the Coyote Gen 3 is concerned, the german techs don't have any experience with it yet.
The 2nd tech today told me : "To be honest I don't know - but...
sounds ok to me and differnt to our upload videos while driving.
