robin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 mine does it for hours. Really freaked me out when I was wiring up my amp. I had the battery disconnected and I could still hear this ticking and buzzing sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 It's perfectly normal mate, nothing to worry about A new one might be quieter, but it's never bothered me much (exhaust drowns it out!). I have one here you can have for postage cost but that might make it a little pricey considering your location... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Always scares the bajeesus out of me, makes me leap from the engine bay like a stung gazelle (with a beer belly) just in case it's a wasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [S]oLiD Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i realise its nothin serious boys, just sounds like crap!!! if your standing next to the car whilst its idling you can hear it ticking away so it "sounds" like somethings wrong to other people... dont think the car would have come out from the factory making that sound, so a new one "should" fix it, any1 actually replaced it with a brand new one????

Pete Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 All three of mine have sounded the same. Not noticeably loud though. Maybe yours has a mouse in it playing the drums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
