#1: strange ' ticking noise ' Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 12:20 pm ---- hi everyone
im not sure if this is a problem or just a normal thing ( never noticed it in other cars )
i have a 206 1.4 sport and have noticed a strange ticking noise every 30 or so seconds coming from the engine bay ( can be heard inside the car too with bonnet closed ) any info as to what it is would be very much appreciated
if im being dumb please dont laugh too hard at me

My sister was shouting at me saying I was chewing some gum too loud but it was the relay... LOL
#3: Re: strange ' ticking noise ' Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 12:33 pm ---- its happening without rear wiper on ( its much louder than that ) i thought it might be just things warming up but after a 3 hour journey i still had the noise. ( if you chew gum that loud i wouldnt want you in my car either lol )

#9: Re: strange ' ticking noise ' Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:51 am ---- to be honest, i couldnt tell you if it was on or not at the time of the noise. i dont hear it all the time which would probably explain it, as normally i knock the AC off when driving but have forgot at times. will have to look into that. thanks pal
