Normal Clicking?

[ryansportwagen]

Maybe I'm just listening harder because the warranty has expired, but I don't remember the car having this clicking that increases with rpm. It's coming from the passenger side.

Possibly worth mentioning as well: Had some issues related to intercooler icing this past winter. Took a while to figure that out and I probably tried to crank it more than I should have.

Anyone hear anything abnormal?

If it increases with speed. It's rotational. Look at CV axles. Breaks etc. But I don't hear anything abnormal.

Thank you. It's with the engine speed; does it when revved in Park. Though it's more noticable reflecting off a curb or barrier like in the video. But I'm glad it's normal!

I had two vehicles up until recently and didn't drive this one much, so I guess I'm just now getting acquainted with how it sounds.

It's a diesel, their louder. When was the tb replaced? Serp belt? I know I had a sound till I realized the serp tensioner bearing.

Belts have not been replaced yet. It's at 125,000 so I know it's due, though. It's just a large chunk of change and I can't do it at the moment.

The TDI guy I found that will do a delete also quoted the TB for 800 compared to the dealer's 1400. Not sure that includes the water pump and other stuff like the dealer, but will find out. I'm planning on doing all of this before winter, due to the intercooler condensation thing that happens.

A thought here. The exhaust flap...ours mad a clicking, sometimes chain rattle sound as well. I was totally unsure what it was at first but a CEL changed all that.
