This is a 2009 XKR. We are trying to figure out what may be the issue. I can not post the video and will work on that. It is not smoking, but a bad chatter. Has me thinking the buckets went bad. As soon as I can get the video reformatted on on here I will.

 

??????????????????????????
You really must be a LOT more specific if you expect any assistance.
Also, where about do you live? A 2009 in the UK is a lot different than a 2009 in ROW.

 

Profile says US.

 

My wife has a bad chatter, but her buckets are just fine. You need to be more specific.

 

I don't WANT to go look at any profiles. My time is for me.

 

I've no idea what the buckets going bad means. There is no engine issue I can think of which would reflect that as a general term. Valve clearances can obviously drift out of spec which could be indirectly related to the the buckets, or more accurately, the shims, but that does not usually happen suddenly.

A chattering sound with an XKR is more likely to be the supercharger coupler or VVT solenoid than a valve clearance issue.

I'm stumped.

 

When I hear ‘buckets’, I think seats. Chattering and not smoking? More fuel for a comedian.
