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

    • Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 🙄
    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
