My Independent RR Shop was started be the former Master Mechanic at BMC RR in San Francisco. He mentioned it to me at the last check-up that the tensioners might be the noise - so it's only been a short time. I'll forward this thread to keep him in the loop about replacing the oil...

I have a 2012 RRSC with the same noise, sounds like a Diesel driving down the road. Loudest at idle. Does anyone have a copy of the RR Bulletin regarding this issue?
