Isn't the main problem with sticky oil glue causing overload of the motors and subsequent disengagement of the motor gears?
Is the rattle worn valves in the manifold or noise from the motors?

No, the main problem is the soldered joints between the microswitches and the PCB. The motors themselves are usually not at fault, and toy or not, you'll find them all over the place (ever looked inside your electric mirrors for example?)
For me the jury is still out as to whether the joints fail because of movement of the switch, vibration, or poor process in the first place exarcebated (sp?)by the previous two.
