Got my engine replaced for the 2k rattle

[Ant]

I’ve got a 2019 with now 22k miles. Noises started around 19k miles. Took months to be able to get a dealer to look at it. They diagnosed it as a timing chain tensioner/guide problem. Replaced that under warranty. Picked the car up and immediately noticed as I was leaving the parking lot it was still making the same exact noise. Came back and left the car. 2 weeks later(today) picked my car up and the noise is gone.

I’m glad I took it in instead of just living with it like most on here seem to do. I only took it in cause I wanted documentation of the 2k rattle in case something down the road happened. I could at least say I had proof of the noise before my warranty expired.

Seems like you had a bit more than the usual rattle if you had a spun bearing, lol. The fact it started recently means it was in fact a different issue.

My car has had the 2k rattle since new, no metal in the oil.

Agreed I noticed mine within a few hundred miles of getting the car new but I'm sure it did it from day 1. Its never gotten any worse sounding always the same. I also have lots of extended warranty time out to 8 years from new so I'm not worried about anything for a while.

To the OP glad you got your car fixed as a spun bearing is a big problem for sure.

That’s another thing because the oil that has been in there for 4k miles looked clean and never burned a drop of oil. Then they did the timing chain kit and changed the oil, I drove a couple of miles and came back and now there’s metal in the oil?

This is not my video but this is the exact noise I was hearing prior to getting a new engine. Is this the same noise you hear? The user who posted this video also had his engine replaced. Are some people mistaken the normal DI pump/injectors as the 2k rattle when in fact they don’t have it?
