Clicking noise

[Tommyboy1507]

I have noticed a clicking noise in my enginebay, seems to be coming from my throttle body. Any ideas what it could be???

[Sparco_Tom]

injectors or tapets?

Expencive? Serious? Hard to change myself?

[Sparco_Tom]

nothing to worry about tbh. Tappets might just need re setting most garages will charge £20-40. I wouldnt worry about it though

same issue, it is 100% coming from the throttle body. Sounds like a sewing machine. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

injectors

I get a noise like this when engine has been turned off then sometimes after a few seconds there is tapping from the throttle body.

injectors

Since its in the throttle body I'd take it it was the single mono injector in the throttle body? Phoned up citroen and apparantly a new one is £197 which I found ridiculous.

Will a scrappy throttle body from another 1.1 fix the same issue?

100% sound coming from throttle body btw before anyone says tappets again :P

Iv got the same problem on
my vts. Plz can you let me know if you fix it:)

I get this too, i only really hear it though when im coming to a stop, its like from 10mph to 0mph the car ticks, sounds like its coming from behind the footwell in the engine bays, passenger side.

To be honest i've never been in a car that rattles and makes so many different odd noises! Good ole saxo's!!

anyone able to offer some advice? Would love to get this fixed but don't know whats causing it! :P

Could I get a throttle body from another 1.1 and replace it and see if that fixes it?

anyone? :)

[chinkostu]

you can take the injectors out of the TB if i remember correctly. 2 torx bolts :)

[animals_saxo]

is it possible to manually clean the injectors with anything?
