Does anyone have any advice for this situation?

I've had the tick on and off in the past but was told it was "normal" by the dealership. When it became worse, I would take it in for an apointment but then it would be gone by the time I arrive in three or four days. Now, I bought the vehicle in Phoenix, so cold wasn't an issue but moved to Germany for the military and had my vehicle shipped there. In the cold here, it ticks just like the you tube videos, going away only after driving a long distance. I'm in warranty in NA until July, but here in Europe I am out of luck I understand. It sounds like I'll be paying 5K one day for parts and labor and have permanent engine damage.

Sheesh, maybe we need to put together a Do It Yourself for this common issue? Lol

Anyone have any insight to options or advice?
