Hi,

So would that make your car a MY98?

Some problems with piston slap have been discussed - use the search factility to find the relevent threads. If you are getting a rythmic knocking sound which is worse when the engine is cold then this may be your problem. A trip to your dealer should provide a diagnosis.

Rgds,

Alex
