gday guys, my series 2 RS4S stagea has had a "click click" noise coming from behind the dash. It happens every 30 seconds or so. It used to be rarely now is all the time. All the 4wd system works. I pin pointed the noise to a small black relay above an orange/brown relay near the brake booster. I disconnected it and the noise stopped but the 4wd light on dash came on. Drove around the block and it had no 4wd. Plug it back in and its fine just the most annoying relay clicking noise.

Does anyone know what it does and if they normally make this noise. I believe it to be on its way out as the relay noise has been becoming more and more constant. Does anyone know a part number or anything so i can chase down a new one. Cheers any help much appreciated.

A search would answer your question. This has been covered in depth now.

It is the ATESSA accumulator causing the relay to click. A second hand accumulator in good nick will fix it or follow the advice of the relevant thread and send yours out to be reconditioned.

Here is one of the relevant posts

      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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
