Hi all
I'm new to your forum having just bought a 2011 FF 133 + cup to try and recapture the fun of the 5 GT turbo I had in my youth. I have to say it's not far off, you can tell the genes of the 5 GT are in there, not quite as much go but the handling has moved on to make up for it. I think it's a great little car, even though many would say I'm at least 10 years too old for it!
Anyway, I have a question for you 133 owners.
To me the engine sounds a bit 'cammy', hardly noticeable at tick over but gets louder between 2000 and 3000 rpm, and by 4000 its drowned out by the induction noise. Is this ticking sound normal for the 133 engine? The car has only covered 10k miles!
Any thoughts or feedback appreciated.
Cheers
Gordon
