"The car was unused for a year before I bought it" I assume this story came from the dealer who sold you this car that sounds like a vintage sewing machine and also cut corners.After 2 years the old fuel has gone, it isn't missing, so injectors are working. At this stage we are taking a punt on it needing an oil flush. But, the more you reveal, the more unsure I am about this car's history.If the flush is successful great, if not we start thinking about a motor that has possibly been cooked or another mechanical reason.Until you do the flush we are all wasting our breath.
Basic car histories are publicly available here. Dealers can't cook a story
Hi Gaurav,It's really hard to diagnose a sound over a video.You've done a oil flush and change and you said it sounds better. Your mechanic said "normal", did he mean for that motor or the kms or what? You can try going to another mechanic and ask, but get a better explanation of diagnosis regardless of good or bad reply.Car yards come in handy, visit a couple, BS story about your mate / girlfriend / mum / dad/ brother / sister is after one. Have a good listen and compare. Only you can decide to "trust" a mechanic or a car. You've gotta make that decision. I have an absolutely brilliant honest mechanic , our 2016 GD makes a rattle, we both agree it's there, Hyundai dealer says "cant replicate " - oh well, 4 years of warranty left. Not arguing -yet.Keep us updated, good luck 👍
