Another thing I was thinking was that it could be old oil. The reason I say this is that I bought an 07 model with less than 2,000km on the odometer so it is almost a year old. The dealer told me they checked everything out on delivery but when I called them today they advised me that they did NOT change the oil. So my assumption is that the old oil (almost a year old now) is possibly the cuplrit? Is that a possible reason for slight clacking/knocking at idle? I have an appointment to bring it in tomorrow morning to have a look and have requested that an oil change be made. I know it is still the "break in" oil but if it is about a year old, I think it should be changed even though the oil life indicator still says 70%.
