Constant engine tick?
Is this normal? I've heard this is normal for all Toyotas/Lexus?
I'm a little worried about this.. not going to lie. I just picked up my 2013 a week ago and didn't notice it?

Isn't this because of the direct injection? Completely normal if that is where the sound is coming from.

Hi folks, I know this thread is a bit dated, and I'm new to owning a Lexus and to this forum. I just bought a 2015 Lexus GS F Sport (pre-owned). The only annoying / concerning thing is the loud ticking from the engine. I'm reading in the forum that this might be normal, but wanted to post a video to confirm.
Thank you so much for any feedback. If I should post in another spot in the forum, happy to do so.
Thanks,
Darron

You probably didn't notice it at first because with the windows up and AC on, probably can't hear it much.....

I bought my car on ebay and when I took it off the trailer and drove it home at night I thought I bought a lemon because of the engine sound. I thought there was something seriously wrong because of the tick, I came from a inline 6 BMW engine and a ls430 v8 which are very smooth engines. After reading up I saw it was a normal sound, it almost sounded like a diesel to me. That combined with some burning rubber/plastic smell had me upset the first night but its all good now. I'm pretty sure I made a thread of a video I posted at the same spot, heh
