Mk3 1.5tsi ACT ticking noise

Featured Replies

Car has a ticking noise that just happened today.
- car drives fine
- no loss of power
- no engine management light
- scanned with my car pal , no engine faults found
- went into live data and it shows a fault on fuel system B2

Any ideas? Im wondering if my scanner isnt good enough to pick up any faults.

Thanks people

Downstream O2 sensor has died. This happens quite often.

Re ticking noise.

Could be failing coil pack arking to earth or the timing chain adjuster failing. try and see where exactly the noise is coming from.

I got the car scanned at the garage and it brought up code P010600 - manifold absolute pressure / barometric pressure range / performance

P010600 may be a leak in airintake or exhaust. The ticking noise may be you hearing the leak? Check the exhaust for leaks and listen around the engine compartment. Use a bit of garden hose one end to your ear and move the other around engine bay till the noise gets louder. it can help pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

This sounds like a failed or failing MAP sensor. It can also determine a dirty throttle body (they get gunged up with dirt) or an Air leak in the manifold.

Thanks for this. Iv ordered a map sensor. Comes tomorrow.... hopefully that stops the ticking. - its strange cos its not noticeable when driving at like 20/30 mph. Just when idle / little revs
