2005 Jetta 2.0
46,000 miles
Today, the usual light clicking sound from the engine's top end suddenly became alarmingly loud, like the valve tappets came loose!
The car is due for an oil change - 5,000 miles.
I use Mobil 1 0W30 synthetic oil.
The car is used primarily for city driving, hardly any freeway travel.
Can this noise be due to the oil change being overdue?
