GEN 2 "Diesel" idle sound warm engine?

[BoostCreep]

Cam phasers make a noise on start up only that sounds like bad rod knock, you can’t miss it. You’re just hearing the DI system, sounds normal.

You’re just hearing the DI system, sounds normal.

That’s what i thought as well. These engines are many things but they are not quiet with the hood open. There’s a lot of mechanical noise going on that you just don’t hear in the cabin.

I have the same thing only louder. Dealership tomorrow. Service guy thought phasers but it lasts longer than a couple seconds so I think they ruled that out.

Keep us in the loop with what happens at the dealer bro!

Sounds exactly as mine. I had the same doubts but now I don't

Does it sound like this with the hood open?

Engine noise

Anyone else experienced noise like this? Warm idle. I do have the cam phaser issue at cold start. Not sure if they’re related. 2018, March build. The video makes it sound louder than it is, but it’s still annoying.

I let the dealer listen to the video I took of mine and he said “that’s definitely not cam phasers”. I’ll try to remember to update everyone.

Curious what the dealer says. Mine sounds the same. I brought it in for a coolant leak which turned out to be the thermostat housing. They said nothing about the sound. Probably just normal. Definitely not cam phasers. I’m currently waiting on parts for that. Cam phasers make a horrible loud diesel sound for about 2-3 seconds. Very different and louder than your typical waste gate rattle.

As some others suggested (And I am no expert), this sounds pretty normal and similar to mine. These engines are not super quiet on the outside (pretty quiet from the cabin).

I have had both the software update AND the actual Cam Phasers replaced. This sound is definitely not that.

Is it normal or not? 50k miles, worried it's cam phaser. Not the first owner, I hear it especially 8s though 16sLink to Idle sound. Thanks

I have that same sound and been told that is not the "cam phaser" sound you are looking for....that is a normal idle sound.
