Hi wondered if anyone could help me out got a mk1 octy if I've got mk1vrs and there a ticking noise from engine bay can't seem to find it doesn't sound like a pulley or anything like that coming from the offside of the engine just wondering if all are the same or I've got a problem also the house doesn't seem to get any louder or faster when revving it up

Noise

Do you have climate control?

Yes mate

Its probably part of the HVAC system running checks on the air before it enters the cabin. Had the same thing with my 406 coupe

It's the thing on the left probably,  between the three things,  can't remember without looking,  has  something to do with emission circulation and carbon I think. Can't remember what it is off the top of my head and I know my description is rubbish,  but it's supposed to do it anyway.  Sometimes it is silent,  sometimes not

There,  searched for ticking noise on left and got this.... 

 

The ticking sounds like the evap system - it's normal for it to tick apparently though I've never heard mine. Black box between the coolant ball and the washer reservoir (assuming same position as 1.8t).

It recycles fumes from the petrol tank and feeds them back into the intake. 

 

 

Is that what you mean

Mine ticks too always wondered how to stop it. Varies in speed but only notice it when cars been for a run n sat idling afterwards.

If it ain't ticking it's not working properly lol

I have no idea why it ticks either. Mine does it, believe you can remove it if it bothers you.
