Anyone ever hear this strange ticking noise? Started the car up after a week of it sitting, I warmed it up for a bit then drove off less than half a mile going less than 25mph before having to return because I forgot my wallet. Anyway, had the car in neutral w/ engine running while my wife got my wallet and I hear this noise. Car has less than 12k miles and will be going in for oil change soon so I'm going to bring it up but just thought I'd ask if anyone has experienced the same thing and found out what it is. Also is the play in the timing belt tensioner normal?

Loud ticking:

Welcome to direct injection. It's your injectors and it's fine.

Thanks! First time I've heard it in 12k miles of driving it so didn't know what to make of it.
