Clunking sound came back again after oil change.
Well, I'm experancing the same problem again when the car is at a idle for about 5 - 15 minutes. This time they're are going to replace the actuator for the WVEL technolgy. I happen to be around the dealership when it started to do it again. I met the local Infiniti rep. today and he seemed to really not care about my problem. He said that it makes a little sound over the engine noise.
I'm glad that he's not a tech. because I would be really alarmed about having someone with that attitude working on my new $40,000 car. The sound is not faint and has a nasty knocking sound to it. I'll keep you informed about this problem.

This has nothing to do with the OP's post. What youre hearing is a throwout bearing, and you will find the same noise amongst all G's and Z's. The sound the OP is talking about is an engine-related noise. Two completely different things.

I've noticed the throw out bearing noise as well. The sound I'm talking about is coming from the engine bay and and it makes a nasty knocking sound. The car is at the dealership right now so I can't post a audio clip of it and if this doesn't fix the problem I'll defently post it so you can all hear it and see if your car makes this noise. Thank you!
