Brought it home a few hours ago. Mine was not one of the cars that had the problem. No X51 for me.

This was a problem that affected my valve tensioner - chain tensioner. They determined it was a oily galley not drilled all the way through. A clicking noise was heard a low revs between 1-2500. I had the tensioner replaced once and it happened again. Then they finally found the problem - had my car for 2 days. Since then its been perfect.

Great, I am not one of those nine then
