Hi!

(2000) Fabia 1.4 16V

Ok, so yesterday when I bought the car, didnt notice it.

Have been dirivng around today, and I can hear a sort of whirring/clicking noise coming from behind the dash, nearer to the engine maybe??

It seems to occur more when I am accelerating.

It seems to come and go, but I've been out in the car 3 times today and I've had it on each journey.

Can anyone tell me what this problem might be / if it can be fixed / how much it might cost?

Many thanks!

Probably throttle body motor working, or EGR valve pulsing. Could be one of a dozen things really.

Ok, LOL, dont know what either of those things are! Are either of them bad?!

Try and notice when it's occurring. For example, is it when the engine's cold, when you're turning, etc. Or is it a regular ticking or is it related to the speed of the engine or the car?

That might help more.

It could be as simple as a heater flap.

Get the codes read, they might reveal something.

They click and clunk all time, with nothing to worry about

It only occurs on acceleration, in any gear, at anytime, randomly!

LOL, my bf heard it today and said i should stop being so paranoid...so im gonna try that. the consensus seems to be not to worry...

however, its having a service end of the month so will mention it in passing.
