Guys im trying to help my friend

His 07 s4 automatic trans , starting to make this noise , it sounds kind on top of the engine any suggestions there? Thankshttps://vimeo.com/119387661

And looks like the noise only starts after the car is hot!

My speakers on this computer suck. I will get on my better computer later tonight and see what I hear.

Sounds like a rod knock, if youre lucky maybe a collapsed timing guide like slow4 had but that sounds like a rod knock.

Does he have any codes. I assume he is getting missifres. It sounds like it’s rpm dependent. I wouldn’t drive the car. Is he located in CA like you.

Yep he is located in CA

I just talk to him , and he said there is no codes or misfire, and also it only happens after he drives the car for about 5,7 minutes and he is feeling that the car lost some power!

I would suggest maybe having him sign up and we can hit him with several questions. If he is able I would have him get it to jhm for inspection. With no missfireing that’s a good thing but if he feels the car is down on power it could be a failure in one of the adjusters or even a guide. Knowing if more of it is speed dependent would be helpful

Yep i talked to keaton at jhm, and we gonna try take the car there some time next week!

That’s best because if it is bad it’s in the right place to fix it. If it’s not bad it’s a great opportunity for a tune.

If you have time before then, pull the filter and cut it open/ check the oil. My car sounded like that, no misfires or anything, it ended up being a spun bearing.

u mean to check for residues?

To check for metal
