Ticking Noise When the engine is idling, there is a ticking noise which is difficult to pinpoint, but I suspect is coming from the timing belt area. Any suggestions?

Ticking noise usually but not always is from the head--valves-usually a rocker arm starved for oil or bent clogged push rod check oil if black and thin can cause tick also extreme cold can cause -because oil thickened sometimes goes away when warmed up-same noise /check oil pressure extreme problem oil pump failing or clogging --timing belt can cause a ticking but they usually fail-- break causing major problem ----other area to check are the pulleys and bearings in witch the belt rolls on-- alternator can also cause a tick when bearing is failing --

Testimonial: "Thanks John. Will get it looked at."

SOURCE: air condition noise

It may have gotten debris(leaves and such) stuck in the fan/blower housing. If it sounds like a bike with a piece of paper on the rhim(rattle), then that most likely the case.to get rid of it, you need to pull the whole blower housing out to clean it thoroughly.

SOURCE: when i try to start

Your battery is flat!! get some one to jump you or give you a push. You need go to a garage to see if your alternator is charging. Your battery may be to blame. Check the alternator 1st as it will cost nothing or next to nothing as a battery is quite expensive. Hope this helps. If it still clicks with a fresh charge or jump leads then give the starter motor a tap wit a hammer while trying to start it.

What is ticking noise from passenger side of motor?

Michael, check your engines oil level right away, low or dirty oil is the main cause. Other things that can cause this issue could be worn or dirty cam lifters or tappets, exhaust leak, loose worn timing chain, possible EGR valve cracked or leaking at base, bad belt or tension er, the list could go on.

My 2001 740i bmw makes a ticking noise when idleing and if i turn on the air conditioner it gets louder

First off, have a good look at the engine and the a/c, try to find any leaked fluids or stains, could find the problem. If you hear a hissing or wheezing sound it may simply be a gasket or tiny hole in a hose / vacuum line. Open the hood while at idle, see if you can echo locate the noise ( with and without a/c.running) Be careful to avoid the belts and fans. If you still can't locate it. The only other thing that comes to mind is the belts themselves, if one is worn of frayed it can make a noise every time it passes over a pulley. One last thought, make sure you're using the right octane gas, too low and the engine will knock and / or tick. Hope some of that helps you, Grim

Hi I have an engine noise coming from the belt area. Like a small ticking/whirring. It is evident when ticking over and seems to reduce when you accelorate. Any help would be greatly received. Thanks.

A slipping belt makes a loud squeaking noise when the engine is running. The belt needs to be changed if it is cracked or fraying on the side, or if it begins to slip.

2010 Honda Civic LX light ticking noise at Idle. 49000 miles on it. No Performance problems observed, But I was curious what the noise might be, And if Autozone can check the codes for anything wrong...

I doubt a "ticking" would cause a code unless it was something like a lifter sticking which may cause a misfire but your engine light would be on if this were the case. Now can you at least narrow down the area it is in like maybe one of the pulleys for your drive belt or does it seem to be in the engine itself. You can try taking the belt(s) off and starting the engine for a short time. If the "ticking" goes away without a drive belt(s) on it, then you need to find out what componant (alternator, A/C compressor, Power steering pump...you get the idea) is making the ticking noise. Codes are in most cases dealing with a sensor of some sort. Hope this helped you....

Are timing chains a problem?

Your avitar says Tempo, these have timming belts, and yes they need to be changed about every 50-60k. The ticking and clicking is comming from something else, you will have to open the hood and try to pinpoint the area.
