#1: Ticking engine noise Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:54 am ---- Noticed today a strange noise from the engine, it is only heard when i accelerate from 2k + its like a 'ticking noise' as you accelerate the ticks get faster as well.. hard to explain really. Its fairly quiet but it is slightly worrying any ideas what this could be?

then check? and it could be driveshaft bearings also

- jack you car up
- spin your wheel slowly and listen for the click
- and if you hear it coming from your driveshaft then thats it
- sometimes you can actualy see the bearings hop so watch the bearings also

#13: Re: Ticking engine noise Author: Indigo_GTI, Location: AberdeenshirePosted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 6:53 am ---- i'd say its the infamous ew10 tick, they are known for it at the tappets (a search should bring up some info on it). mine does/did it when warm and revved. from what i recall its nothing major to worry about unless it gets dramatically worse
#14: Re: Ticking engine noise Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:29 pm ---- will get the tappets looked at, nothing to do with the drive belt. and as said it is only heard when accelerating the engine is sweet on idle
