There is some sort of clicking noise coming from my engine bay. Been trying to pin point where it is coming from, but cannot put my finger on it. I wonder what it is. I am fine on everything. Oil levels fine, Air/Fuel normal, Turbo still spinning, Engine heat alright. The car is running great as far as power like it always has, but that clicking noise just comes and goes.

 

isnt it the timing chain or something?

 

Timing chain tends to wear out faster since its turbo? Anyone else got any suggestions?

 

It comes and goes. Lets say I got turn my car on now it will not be there, but once I do 30 minutes or more of driving I can already start to hear it click every time I give it throttle.

 

does it sound like possibly your dump tube hitting the frame? I had that same problem with my inline pro kit. I had to squeeze it in a vice to make it oval shaped where it passes by the frame. Thats probably not your problem but it was worth a shot.

 

See I just turned it on right now and it sounds great. What can this be?? I bet you if I run the car for a 30 minute trip it comes bak....Then leaves when the engine is colder again.

 

In general our engines make a ticking noise from the injectors / somewhat loud valvetrain.

 

I dunno if its anything or not. I believe I never heard it before because I had "the loudest exhuast in the world." I now have a muffler and quieted down plenty, but i dunno. Its just fine right now and it will come back after a good stroll.

 

I went for a "stroll". Pretty much WOT it and it came back with the clicking noise. A lot of it. It did not have it when i started the car up though.

 

Few minutes later just started the car back up noise is gone again.

Anyone can chime in on this?

Doesnt do it at idle or at least it is not loud enough for me to hear.
Does clicking noise after a few minutes of driving.
Open throttle and clicking increses in rate.
After I let it sit for a while and turn it back on the noise disapears and engine sounds normal.
No clicking as rev through the rpm band after....
