Engine Ticking? 2014 RDX
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and new to Acura's. Just bought a used 2014 RDX tech that came off a lease. Coming from the 2007 Trailblazer SS, I was quite happy with the performance/fuel ratio which is why I purchased!
Anyways, I'm hearing a ticking noise from the engine bay and I have no idea if this is normal or not. When pressing on the gas it speeds up, and even after driving for a half hour or so, it never goes away. When I talked to the Acura service department, they said that it was normal and it was the sound of the direct injection. It seems rather loud for that, but since I don't know these vehicles, I wanted to see your thoughts. I'm sure the dealership used 87 fuel, so once it's close to being gone, I will fill up with 91 and hopefully it goes away. I've attached a link to the youtube video if that is aloud on this forum. Any help to put my mind as ease would be appreciated. Thanks.

I lied, I can not live with the sound. I kept thinking who on earth would make an engine sound this horrible? So today I made a trip to the dealership and got them to compare another 2014 RDX. That RDX was much quieter than mine, so I have it booked in Monday to find out what the issue is. Just thought I'd update this just in case anyone else is having the same issue.
