#1: 180 - Loud ticking noise Author: Lee180, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:46 pm ---- so, as titled, there is a very loud ticking noise ( almost sounds diesel ), atleast there was for about 20 minutes after i took the 180 for a lap around the local '' track ''. as you can image, fast gear shifts, high revs, ect ect ect. then almost asif by magic it stopped ticking loudly.
( the track is a privately owned run way, by a friend whos parents run a parashooting experiance )
did it only happen when cold start and only at idle speed?

On yours it will most likely be the small brown valve hidden under the bonnet behind the left hand end of the engine near the inlet manifold, directly in front of the driver, its pretty well hidden.

Something to do with the emissions system, there cheap enough to replace if it is the cause of your problems.
