Ticking when I accelerate

When I accelerate I get these annoying ticking sounds. Does anyone else??

I don't get any ticking with or without an ASP pulley or with or without having the windows open but I've heard of coupes that do. Take it in to the dealer and see what they say.

all the more reason to remove the resonator, or upgrade exhaust systems.

It's not Soo much when I accelerate but when I start up the car.. the car makes this funny mild rhytmic chugging noise. I dunno whether it's all the same in all c230's

It is most likely your purge valve. I heard there is a T.S.B. for it.

That startup noise is normal (and a common complaint). It should last 40 seconds on cold startup.
