It's just me New Member 10 Member For: 8y 6m 26d Posted 01/07/16 10:28 AM Author Share Posted 01/07/16 10:28 AM Thank u k31 , I'm hearing a consistent click noise every 10 seconds underneath the car on idle near cat almost the same as the click on some cars when the air con comes on ,on some cars........ Funny enough this all happened after driving on a dirt road the other day......... Coincidence I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's related to driving on a dirt road unless you were using it to smash the limiter (which can cause timing chain/guide issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
