Strange ticking noise on acceleration with clutch up

Post by SciroccoCW »

Hi,

I have a strange constant ticking noise coming from the engine when driving along and accelerating. It sounds kind of like a fan spinning but not smoothly. If I put the clutch down it disappears but as soon as I lift the clutch up I can hear it again and through acceleration. It's quite a feint noise but you can notice it when driving all the time.

Any ideas?

Engine: EA211
Model: CZCA

This thread seems to be describing the exact same problem. I have warranty on the car so if I can get this sorted for free that would be nice!

Sounds come back again.. sounds like a fan or belt spinning badly? It's only when I lift the clutch back up

Jumping on this a few years later but wondering if you've ever found a fix/cause of this?
I have the exact same engine and same the problem. I've also found that the noise stops temporarily if the fan is switched off/on again which puzzles me on how that's liked to lifting the clutch up...
