Yet sound alone is not the best way to diagnose a modern workhorse...
You need to connect a scanner such as Launch CReader Elite to read all modules faults.
This will empower your ownership to reach a whole new level of armchair mechanics

lots of parts + lots of labor.
This fault means your engine is asking for a new camshaft with other 3 not far away.
Given enough rattling, the sensor wheel has shifted. That is driving the ECU timings off the charts...
This is a big job:
Remove highpressure rail
remove injectors
remove valve cover
replace new camshaft
replace new VVT Phaser
replace new HPFP + Roller
replace new tensioners
Set engine exact timings
Applicable to 1x or 4x camshafts.

what's your budget to keep this car on the road?
It doesn't have to be perfect to keep moving forward on oil alone....

what sort of mileage....

and idk 2-3K




If you don't have rattling perhaps it's the balance shaft messing up timings. There is a kit for that...

-- What is the coolant level like: low??
-- Any chance the engine heads recently got overheated and warped.
-- Perhaps one of the long aluminum head bolts let go..?
-- I dont think it is heat exchanger but check the engine oil dipstick for oil level and appearance.
... I hope I'm wrong
-- Como é o nível do líquido refrigerante: baixo??
- Há alguma chance de os cabeçotes do motor terem superaquecido e deformado recentemente.
-- Talvez um dos longos parafusos de cabeça de alumínio tenha se soltado..?
- Não creio que seja um trocador de calor, mas verifique a vareta do óleo do motor quanto ao nível e aparência do óleo.
... Espero estar errado :louco:[/QUOTEThe water has no oil and also does not get low
I will analyze these or other items
thanks

At any rate BIG WHITE SMOKE:
means catastrophic engine failure.
Your safest chance is NOT TO DRIVE.
