Cracking noise during normal acceleration.
Quote from H A on April 16, 2020, 8:39 pmHey fellow swift owners hope everything is well, i have noticed my 2015 swift crackles when driving, I'm pretty sure it's coming from a heat shield but just wanted to be sure, and also the engine does have quite a tick on cold start but goes once warmed up. Anyone have similar issues?

The Swift Sport can be a bit tappety when cold but if it goes once up to temperature, its all ok.
Just everything swelling into tolerance due to heat.

Quote from Swifter on April 23, 2020, 6:35 amThere is a bit of noise 2 to 3k rpm which is more evident on a light throttle. I've heard the same from more than one car suggesting it is entirely normal.
The tappets should be at their running clearance, so could be cam chain noise or perhaps the VVT mechanism.
