Idle clicking noise Volvo V40 2004

[Petter Thygesen]

I own a V40 04’. The engine lately has started to make this clicking/ticking sound that is quite loud. It only happens when the engine is at operating temp, and its not in gear/the clutch is in. Sound goes away with just about any throttle

What could this be?

I have a video of the engine whilst this is happening. Its a youtube shorts. https://youtube.com/shorts/2TtShlRBTq8?feature=share

Oil levels are fine

It sounds like bad news. It sounds like something from the top end of your engine is causing that noise. It would require a visual inspection after removing the valve cover to see what went wrong.
