artscot79 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 icv needs replaced when the car over revs or under revs especially at idle but it can be many other things including a split in a intake pipe so it may be beat to pop it into the dealers you can spend a fortune buying small bits trying to sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-20 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 hey if it's the noise am thinking of its the abs test it does this everytime you start the car and set off i maybe wrong but am pretty sure its this mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven33 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 hey mate, mine's does exactly the same thing, think its when you reach a certain speed (like 5 or 10 mph, something like that) and im pretty sure as liam said its the abs engaging. old focus used to do it too.

jg321 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My money is on abs test too. Mine does it, sometimes louder than others! Not noticed a pattern yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
