Ahh I'm aggrivated!!

- I hear a damn noise when i turn the wheel (pulley's or pump)

- I hear a damn grinding noise when I back up (took to the dealer, they didnt do anything)

- I still hear a ticking noise from my engine bay (either pulley's or valves and dealer said it was pulley's)


These are some annoying fucking sounds, especially when you hear them all at the same time..

 

If it's a constant ticking noise, it's more than likely your valves. I'm getting mine adjusted tomorrow morning. When I did it to my AV6 it didn't TOTALLY go away, but it was A LOT better than before. It should only cost you like $125 to get done. 1 hour labor & $25 for the new valve gaskets.

hmmmm, havent heard any of that yet in my 03.

 

I don't know if constant ticking would be a bent valve. From members experiences on the board, I would imagine it to be a purge solenoid valve.

 

Get your vavles adjusted. It'll be a lot better.

 

Had my valves adjusted and it still sounds the same to me....same annoying ticking sound!

 

Purge solenoid valve......... do a search on it.

 

Well I took it to the dealership he said its my pulley's... he put a lubricant on them and it just came back later...


I searched it and the dealership told me different

 

If it's your pullies then remove them.
At least you could see for sure if that's it.

The purge valve was a suggestion. It ticks. So does many other things.
