I start the car and i can hear this clicking noise coming from the engine bay that sounds exactly like them toys that you get from those stupid shops.. you know its like a little plastic ratchet with a straight pole connected to it and you use that pole to spin it around and it makes that clicking noise really fast?
Again sorry for being so vague but its one of those things that doesn't sound like its damaging anything.. but i can hear it and i know its there.
The sound car be heard when i start the car for the first time 7 / 10 mornings whilst in park, drive and whilst moving away at low speed. The sound then disappears after 3 - 5 minutes and also as the engine becomes warmer.
So we have a ratchet clicking sound (not quite as harsh as a metal ratchet.. but can be heard whilst in and out of the car).. The sound is active whilst the car is in Park and whilst its driving until the engine gets warmer.. 60 degrees + the sound gets faster when i accelerate and as the RPMs rise.
Sounds very much like a child's plastic ratchet.
Some enlighten me as to the cause?
