Get this on my MY98 also but not all the time. Mostly notice it a very light throttle openings ans at low revs. Also it occassionally runs on ticking for a second after the engine has been turned off.

I’ve not heard of anybody’s totally failing but I’m sure it’s a possibility. You can clean them out every so often (you will find out the procedure if you do a search) But they are supposed to tick. You can mount them on a bit of rubber or sponge to reduce the ticking in car. I’m sorry I don’t know what would happen if it stopped working.
