Re: Ticking Noise

I dont know if this helps but......


On my company car 2003 BA XT

It has two ticking sounds

--> One when the interior fan / a-c is running. If i turn it up to full then down low again, it goes away.... for a while. Must be a wobbly mounted fan in there somewhere. Or a leaf stuck in HVAC air intake area.

--> Second one i used to get when the engine was cold and i was accelerating onto the freeway (engine had done approx 30000km) - high pitched ticking in time with engine revs, goes away when off load. I didnt get it looked at, and it seems to have gone away. I did have a mild oil leak at one stage, which was a loose sump plug leaking oil. i wonder whether whilst cold the top end was a bit starved of oil +/- a valve was sticking.

Not all that helpful, as the sound has since gone away since the last service (now 15000km ago). But I'm guessing that was the problem.

I guess i'm really suggesting keeping a close eye on oil level........


My $0.02.
