Patch Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Seems my new car has a bit of a ticking noise at idle,but can't here it once moving. Any ideas what it could be? Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Have you got an uprated clutch and fly wheel? They can be a bit clattery at idle Quote
Patch Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Oil level is fine. No history of uprated clutch/flywheel in the history. Fuel regulator,where is that in the engine bay? Will check that out. Quote
narcotix Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 There are two: One to the left of the engine which is easy to spot, and another which is located to the back of the engine, under the throttle body ... Quote
S1 HNK Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 A video would help as it could be anything and might help narrow down where the sound is coming from Quote
Patch Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Had a look today,the sound is coming from underneath the throttle body and speeds up when rev'd. I assume that is the regulator mentioned above. Is it normal to tick,or does it need replacing? Quote
narcotix Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I've got the same ticking sound coming from under the throttle body area too ... I've changed the fuel pressure regulator and it's still there ... Maybe it's worth getting some diagnostic work one before coughing up for the regulator as it might not be the problem ... Quote
