What's that noise??
Hi all,
I've done a search on this, but it didn't seem to yield anything particularly useful. I've just noticed that my MY99 Turbo produces a "ticking sound" from the engine bay when idling. It's regular in frequency, reasonably fast and Seems to dissappear when revs are applied (either that or its just drowned out). I only checked the oil levels a few days ago and a recent inspection revealed that the engine oil itself was spot on.
It certainly doesn't sound alarming and I may just be being paranoid, but might this sound be indicative of anything sinister?
Best.
BTW I only tend to notice this sound when I'm letting the car cool off, but it's not just a sound produced by the car cooling down....too regular for that.
