Dear all, I am new in this forum and this is my first post.

I am a bit concerned about this clacking noise. I bought the car from a dealer 2 days ago. When I saw the car as first wasn't sounding bad. The dealer picked me up at the meeting point. The car was okay. Has the issue about the stiff gear, we go to the garage and they kind of try to fix it, everything was all right, I buy the car after some inspection, looking for noises and so on. Everything was all right until next day, cold in the morning I fire up my new st150 and this noise came up.

Can anyone relate what can it be? When the engine was warmed up for a while, the noise is not there, or if it's there it is almost negligible, but when cold, yeah, what to say.

I have uploaded a YouTube short for you to see what can it be or if anyone can tell me if día to lack of maintenance and love to this poor car has worn out prematurely any tappets, cam shafts, etc..

Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
