Gymfocused Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi guys, I've noticed a new noise on Evie. It started the day before yesterday. It's a noticeable ticking noise when accelerating. Could this be the start of the tappets going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be correct, on a 2010 car maybe the new improved (🤔) E10 fuel isn't agreeing with it. OP should try a couple of tank fulls of E5, if he can find it and see if the noise goes away.

Gymfocused Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I run her on momentum. Have done since the remap last year. Could it be injectors or the ti-vct mech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This code simply means that there is an issue with your scan tool. There's no need to take your car to the mechanic; you can safely drive it as usual. In most cases, the check engine light will turn off after a few days or weeks. 8 hours ago, unofix said: Well there's a term I've not heard of in many years.

I did an oil and filter last year. It was overdue but, has been running fine, until the noise started recently.

Gymfocused Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Does anyone know if this is the start of the ti-vct mech going, or could it be the tensioner on the cam belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymfocused Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 No codes found, just checked. Engine is sounding as per normal on idle. Can hear ticking from under the cam sprocket cover bit, that's how it normally sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
