exhaust used to tick on mine, louder then you'd believe. Usually only noticeable when outside the car though
I have a tick coming from my throttle body on a Saxo 1.1, gets faster with acceleration. Before anyone mentions no its not the tappets
Mine does the same. As my car gets warmer though it seems to get quieter. what about yours?
ok guys, il try and describe it a little better for you.
Its a very consistent ticking noise. It sounds like a metal tapping noise if you know what i mean. Its only noticeable when i accelerate, but I'll have a closer listen soon to confirm. It gets louder and faster the harder i accelerate, and is a lot louder with the window down. It sounds as if its coming from the front end of the car. Not really sure what else i can say.
Its a 1.25 zetec engine, petrol.

Did someone say these have hydraulic tappets?
If so, and if the noise is a tappet, a simple oil change may cure it. Get some nice new good quality stuff in there. Then after about a months it should clear up. Also, if it wants semi-synthetic, don't think fully-synthetic is blatantly better, tappets can be very sensitive to the type and grade of oil you use.
