If so, do you think that is what made the difference?

The weird thing is, like everyone says, the noise comes and goes, and I can't find any obvious correlation to temperature or anything else.
I had the same issue on my Vorshlags. I pulsed it with a gun, then used a spanner and allen key- this was the better method.
Problem solved.
