Noise disappears with 1-2mm of clutch pedal movement.... Think we have a winner.

Will replace the clutch and bearingand see if that makes a difference.

Yeah thats what I thought... Its done 120km, so suspect it may be on the original clutch

It seems to make the noise when stationary, sitting in the car, but you can't really hear it when standing in front of the open engine bay.

Noise increases with rpm/ load rather than speed...

Toyota vitz rs

My car has a ticking noise, almost a cross between the sound of something plastic hitting a fan and a 'shick' sound when moving/running.

Increases with RPM, however disappears when clutch is depressed and the engine reved...so makes finding it impossible when in the garage...

Any ideas what it ...

Yes, but not in Auckland without the wife having to work full time.
Looking at moving to New Plymouth actually, seems to be the place for civil engineers!

Higher pay + cheaper housing = win.

Bought a Vitz RS for the wife...it's no mx5 but is surprising fun to drive!/ surprise people at the lights.



Its prob got more power than the mx5 though

That the one?

Diesel peugeot?

I have a 1.9TD 405 which give about 16-17km per litre...and thats after I turned up the boost and diesel....

Handles well too.

Cleaning the afm sorted it... amazing how much difference it makes to driving the car.

Will keep an eye on it to see it if happens again and need to replace the afm, but hopefully it has sorted the issue

Spray from a safe distance, a few short bursts a couple of times rather than a hard long blast... I believe that is the accepted way to do it without damage?

Sweet, I will give the insides a good clean and see if that make a difference.

The wire with a orange glob on the end on the left of the photo?


I cleaned that softly with carb cleaner and an very small piece of cotton wool.

Do you need to clean up the larger tube as well on the right)?

My girlfriend has a 2000 Mazda Familia wagon 1.5 ZL that is giving weird issues.

Basically the car was stuttering at low speeds and hesitating then taking off once you reached about 4000rpm.

I replaced the filthy air filter and sparkplugs, which seemed to make a difference to the stutttering ...

Find out the cause and then fix the hesitation on acceleration in the girlfriends Mazda. Hopefully new airfilter and plugs will sort it. (air filter is filthy, when I first took it out it left a pile of dust on the work bench...)

Sure it's RWD but $5k

That plus 5k of mods = better than spending 10k on stock car.

Because 3s engines are bulletproof!

When I am towing/loaded it was creeping up over 90, and I made myself drive slower so it did not exceed 95 etc.

May just do a flush and coolant for peace of mind.

Had a small laugh to myself yesterday when filling the Corolla. Guy in an Evo8 putting $20 in (of 98 so not even 10L)

I always put $20 in. But I generally buy a drink or something at the same time - so it's not like I'm at the gas station JUST for the <10L fuel hah

So basically any money ...

I assume it would be the hot side .
