Ticking tsb and questions

mkPOTO · 08-04-2009, 08:07 AM

So I have this loud ticking noise when the car is warming up or just sitting at idle. I first thought it was normal ( my Rsx and s2000 did that all the time) but have been reading and been told that there is a tsb on it. So I searched and I came short. People have been saying it may be the wastegate or something that needs to be adjusted. I was wondering if someone could point me to the right direction on where I could find more info on this ticking issue tsb. Also I have an appointment tomorrow and was wondering if I should take my charge pipe with bov and my dci off before taking it in.

Thanks
mark

Happened to me also.

In my case the car was sitting inthe garage for 2 days and when I started it I heard the ticking. After driving it for 2 miles it went away. I went with the "it's normal for the car" type of explanation.

I don't have the posts on this forum concerning the ticking noise book marked but a quick search should bring them up and you can decide if it's worth being concerned about.
