I have a wolf data squirt, so the boost controller is built in the squirt, dont know of any solenoid.

The injectors are fine.

As you can hear, the tikkingsound dissapears when i rev the engine.

In that video I can still hear the ticking when you are revving, and it stays at the same rate. It does not increase with revs. That's why it's not an injector.

An electronic boost controller has a solenoid in it.

Are you sure you can't hear the ticking sound when you rev it because the engine noise over rides it? I can definitely hear it

The sound come and goes.

It stops when i rev it. I can make an longer vid tomorrow.

I have driven the car as it is, and there is no problem other than that sound. The engine run really smooth, but the sound is annoying, and it shouldt be there.

What he said. It doesn't change with RPM.

You're looking for the boost solenoid or a shorted relay.

When is were going to start the engine today the tikkingsound came when i turned on the ingition, before the car started.

So it have to be an solenoid somwhere, but i cant find it. Have searched after the sound, and felt on solenoids to find the ticking, but havent found anything.

I think it is under the greddy intake somwhere, but it sounds like it comes from the fuelrail. I will probaly find it if i take the plenum off.

Unplug the auxilary air valve.

It is a long weird looking thing under the plenum. It has a purple plug that should be facing towards the firewall. Hard to get to but I can just get my fingers on it to unplug and my arm is f**kEN HUGE!!!

That should solve your problem.

Cheers. Sorry to bump but I'm having this problem and my car randomly stalls as well and the VVT solenoid makes sense. I'll try it out today.

Just fyi, I left the ticking sound unattended for months, and I checked everything that would cause the car to stall except for the VVT so the pieces fit.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
