i dont know if this is normal or not but when i start my car up the revs go over 1000rpm and in a split second they go down that low its like the engine is struggling to get the revs back up so i give it a bit of a rev and it goes back up but there is this weird tic tic tic noise under the bonnet?

its due for a major service but it has done this for a little while now,any ideas???

the only thing i can think of is i got it serviced by a mechanic a while back... just the oil and oil filter and he could have put some cheap ass oil in it.

if i thought that my oil was too thin/cheap i'd go str8 out and buy some nice oil... saaaaay motul turbolight 4100 10w40 and an oil filter... saaaaay a ryco z145a and do an oil change that day...

jus sayin.......

I have the same problem. On my fc hand controller it says that my vct sensor is turning on and off. Its located on the right of injector number 1, and looks like a goldy coloured hexagonal tube thing with a plug in it. That is the clicking that i can hear in mine. It also makes my idle hunt terribly on start up, but then goes away after it gets warm?? :D Let me know how u go, or if i find a solution ill let u know!!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
