I just dropped my car off for service A and also wanted the purge valve replaced so the ticking noise would be reduced...

TIA

Heh, I had my car in for the very same reasson. Well, my service guy told me:

-They all sound like that, and they are supposed to do so becuase it is part of the normal "working-noice" for the engine.

Told him not to give me that B.S, but did they change the purge valve for me?? NOT! Next time I bring my car in I will print out every single post and service bulletin on this topic and tell him some kind words... Or maybe I should find another workshop...

Good luck. Sorry I can't provide you with the part#.

For my 'purge valve' noise they replaced "mountig clip for purge valve 001-995-56-65 clamp" and it stopped the noise.

What is this purge valve noise? Is it just after start-up or all the time?

DtS

This noise emerges pretty stochastic. Some times it won't tick at all, other times it ticks like crazy. It is a "metallic" type of noice (pretty much like the ticking from a badly calibrated valve in an old engine). I can't tell under what particular circumstances it will start/stop to tick... Anyway, it's a very annoying noice.

I need help. My car ticks as it revs but I don't know if it's the normal sound of the exhaust/engine or if it's this purge valve thing. I'm going to record a .wav file and post it here to get an opinion. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if someone could post a sound clip of their car if it is known to be normal sounding -or- if they have the valve noise.

I just don't want to waste a trip to the dealer if I don't have to.
