[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 54074, member: 126"] Woohoo!!! I made the Tappet Noise/Pinking Sound go away!!! :yahoo: How? I flushed the radiator! :dunno: My radiator had never been flushed since buying the car about 8 months ago and it was causing pockets of air to build up in the engine cavities which caused my engine to run extra hot although coolant temperature was a constant middle mark. And heat was causing the Pinking! Thus rickety-tickety-tick!!! But after flushing the radiator and using 1.5litres filtered water and 1.5litres BMW coolant for a 50/50 mix, my problem is now solved!!! :yahoo: And the really amazing thing is that my engine runs so much quieter now too with power to boot during hot days!
