Good video.

It does not sound good. It sounds like the lower end has an issue whether it is rod or main bearings.

Looks like a major repair coming your way. Sorry.

Appreciate your time. We have only just purchased the car less than four weeks ago from a dealer. We have had the navigation unit requiring fixing and now this problem. Seems this car is going to be to problematic and we might get our money back.
