But the valves make horrible noise on start up until it warms up and than it goes away. A metallic sound and pinging. Porsche said it was the valves.
The sales manager said his BMW does that too, nothing to be concerned about lol. So I won't push something to anyone until I know if I have a valve issue it will be taken care of. Or its not considered an issue unless its physically broken.

I know not an AWE, but sounds like same or similar issue.
