Can You He The Clicking?

[Hadouken]

So, I've had this car for almost a year and I have never noticed this, hence why I'm here.

Let's say your driving off boost. Then you push the throttle a little further until you make boost, as soon as it goes from 0psi to positive boost, there's a click, like a relay click, coming from where the boost solenoid is in the bonnet.

Has it always done that? Haha. I'm paying a lot of attention to it now... Grrr

Thanks

I do the exact same with the VCT lol

yes, if you turn the ignition on you should hear it clicking as the solenoid opens and closes.

mine sounded like a playing card in bicylce spokes haha

Ah I see. Don't you love it when you start paying attention to different parts of the car and then BAM what is that noise?! I've never heard that before haha.

Selective hearing to the max.

yes, I get that all the time haha

usually after I give the car a squirt...spend the next hour listening for broken bits lol

[Hadouken]

Haha. We are much the same

It must be quite common, had to follow my old man his pathfinder recently, when we went onto the motorway on ramp I was going to fly past him, but just before thought I felt something vibrating in the back and ended up not even keeping up with him! haha, car's been fine since

He is right, I shat my bricks when I heard it too. Put the ignition to "on".. "click" i kept wondering for a couple of days and with some research it was the solenoid.

This is exactly the same as me

I've spent every drive since my tune listening and popping bonnet.

So much so that my bonnet cable is farked

ahah

in my case something usually has broken though

My injectors click so loud

My boost controller does the same

My VCT does the same

I pull up next to people and they start moving away thinking I'm a car bomb.

Probably doesn't help with having my turban on
