Try removing the oil dipstick and see it goes away. If it does the PCV system is bad!
Yes. It makes normal injector noise. The noise in question here is intermittent and different than injector tick.
That's what I meant when I said VVT actuator I just forgot the VW term for the valves.We are thinking it's the N80 valve. He felt it while it was running and its knocking right along with the tick that we are hearing. Hope that's all it is, just a $20 part.
Ah. The actuator is internal to the engine, this part is on the exterior under the plastic engine cover. He wants to try and find the part tomorrow and replace. Hopefully that's the issue.That's what I meant when I said VVT actuator I just forgot the VW term for the valves.
Not saying its not possible but I never heard an evap purge valve make that sort of racket.We are thinking it's the N80 valve. He felt it while it was running and its knocking right along with the tick that we are hearing. Hope that's all it is, just a $20 part.
Hopefully this will be a first then. I’ll report back when I know.Not saying its not possible but I never heard an evap purge valve make that sort of racket.
No, not yet anyway lol.Is there any chance your brother over-revved it driving like a race car driver?
I was young and dumb once too. I guess I still am sometimes lol.
Making a fool of myself, I thought the N80 valves were the VVT valves on top of the valve cover. Anyway the purge solenoid does ring true for me, now that it was brought it up sounds like the purge valve on a Ford DI 2.0L, they could be very loud like that.No, not yet anyway lol.
Good for you, man.He replaced the n80 valve and no ticking yet. It was intermittent though so time will tell.
