Quiet Ticking

[Jeshua]

Gday guys,

Got a light ticking coming from the turbz. Its an Ba MKII XR6T ute.

Only happens when I accelerate. Not at idle or just rolling. Any ideas on what it could be?

Dont think its loose turbo bolts as I just had them tightened.

Cheers

EDIT: Comes from the engine bay btw

Injectors???

exhaust manifold tight?

[Jeshua]

Could be the injectors... Forgot to mention one thing which is quite weird. If I say, put my foot flat in 5th gear doing 50 and the car very slowly accelerates it doesnt hapeen.

Exhaust manifold is all good.

cheers

pinging?

[Jeshua]

Dont think its pinging. Not quite the same sound, engine temperature is normal, isnt high engine temperature a symptom of pinging?

Might post a video when I get the car back, just in to get a paint touch up.

If all else fails its to the mechanic.

Cheers again guys

Is it coming from the driver's side? Has your car had a custom tune? Possibly the Boost Solenoid????

I reckon your on the money mate. Happened a couple weeks after tune. Also explains why it doesn't happen in real low rpm cos it's not

under boost.

Cheers for the help lads.

Oh by the way... Expensive fix? Possible DIY job?

My boost solenoid was ticking from just turning the key to the on position, a trip back to the tuners fixed it.
