My poor car started making a 'tick tick' type noise which gets faster and louder as i accelerate through the gears. I cant hear anything when she is at a stand still and when i rev it.

I checked the oil and found it was 99% empty, and i never had any worning light on my dash!! :-(
I immediately topped her up with oil and then drove home from work, the noise is still there!!

What damage have a caused and is it going to be fix-able or costly?? my poor baby!! :-(

Hi there,

You may have done some bearing damage, as this is what will suffer most with very low oil, i would have the oil flushed and changed as just topping up will not remove all the sludge build up, do the flush and see how it sounds.
