Our 2018 was 3 times at the dealership for the noise as mentioned at page #1.
Finally got fixed!
SUBJECT
Clicking Noise from Front Axle
MODEL
F15 (X5)
SITUATION
A high-pitched metallic clicking noise is heard from the front axle when taking off from a stop or during a load
reversal (reverse to drive).
CAUSE
The preset axial play in the input flange to pinion bearings of the front differential may create a metal-on-metal
“crack” noise when load reversing.
CORRECTION
Remove the input flange from the front differential (refer to Repair Instruction RA 31 51 010).
Do not replace any parts when performing the repair (the input flange seal stays installed). |
I think we are discussing different noises in this topic. Mine (and some others people) definitely produces the ticking from the right side, and the front differential is on the left.
Additionally, there is no sound when load reversing and it only happens on warm engine.
Can you please check the videos on page #2 and #3 to make sure yours sounded the same?
