You have an old car or it's about to be broken.
Leaves rustling at a distance. A ticking watch is twice as loud!
A sound at 15 decibels is not very load. It is equivalent to the sound that watch makes when ticking.
depends on the exaust and size of the engine..
It could be one of the injector fire seals. There is a forum post dedicated to the Citroen C3 injector fire seals here: http://citroenc3owners.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12 and a youtube video demonstrating the sound of a leaking fire seal (ticking or chuffing sound) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgZ-B0Ccafg or, it could be the crank pulley. There is a video of the sound a worn crank pulley makes and information about the parts required to fix it at http://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-citroen-c3/citroen-c3-2002-1-4-hdi-engine-makes-loud-ticking-noise-t290.html
It's not the train that's loud, it's the engine
It's not the train that's loud, it's the engine
that probably means its time to get a new car
harmonic balance maybe bad
The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.
Could possibly be a bad lifter.
Most likely it is a bad CV joint, they will make a clicking sound when they are worn out.
probably the lifters not getting sufficient oil
