Hoping someone can give me an idea of what this could be..
I have a ticking noise from the engine compartment thats intermittent. I cant locate exactly where from unfortunately.
It started a few weeks back and at that time i thought it was connected to making a gear change as using the clutch seemed to make the noise start / stop. Now it does not seem to be connected to using the clutch anymore. At least i cant get it to start stop by using the clutch anymore.
Some rides it can be completely quiet. Some rides it comes and dissapears after a few seconds or halv a minute or so. Or its there until i restart the car at which point it can be silent for the entire next drive or not.
Sounds like a clock more or less. It goes at a steady pace and the rythem is not connected to the revs as its constant regardless of rpm.
A/C compressor? They can cycle at odd times if the refrigerant levels are low
Maybe the A/C clutch trying and failing to operate, if it's the magnetic type that wears over time until the gap becomes too large and it can't lock up?
I have no experience with this at all. But it does have an a/c i never get to use around here so its never on. Alltho i guess it can still make sounds perhaps.
