Ticking Noise

Recommended Posts

murtaghp

Hi all,

 

I recently got my 1.9 on Motronic back on the road after 5 years and the engine has a ticking sound between 2000 & 2500 revs on load.

 

The sound is not there when I rev it but its there when I drive it.

 

I thought it was maybe valve clearances but I now think it may be exhaust or manifold related (both of which have been off and back on)

 

Before I start stripping it, has anyone experienced this?

 

Thanks

The exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking and that causes a ticking sound.

As above. Hairline cracks in the manifold casting cause this. Seen it twice on mine. Also if the manifold gaskets are leaking you get a similar sound

Thanks for the info, I’ll have a look around the manifold
