Hi Everyone

I just bought a '03 Stivo D/Blue, I live in Sydney.

Just a bit confused about the recall, what is done in the recall? What changes will there be after the recall?

I hear a ticking noise when the car is idling, is that normal? What's causing that?

:D

welcome.

for me also i´m a newbie..jejej :lol:

the ticking noise from the engine is the valve function.

it´s normal....

don´t worry..

have a nice trip with your car.

the ticking is usually the fsm(i think it is called that) it switches quickly and controls intake of hot and cold air at idle with the air box set up.

since install of the CAI (the bracket doesn't fit) mine is cable tied so it floats but does move so much and now my ticking is much less/

hope thats of help man but if at all worried take it in and ask your workshop.

the 2ZZ has some crazy noises that are all normal. like the jet air craft one it makes after 6000 revs.

Tee hee.. I went through 6-8k in a tunnel the other day with the window down.. scared myself a bit. Damn it just sounds so good every time.

ps: mine ticks quite loudly from outside as the aircon goes on and off and the electric fans go on and off.. all normal stuff..

No Influx is the VSV...Vacum Solieniod Valve. And Also does not control hot and cold air it is actually part of the Polution Control System.

its only made the ticking noise since i bent the valves, its really annoying cos its pretty loud and resonates off every thing.... and the bearing noise?? :( :( its progressivly getting louder... :angry::angry:
