The notorious purge valve

Well, like so many others, the purge valve on my 03 CLK cab is ticking away like crazy. I'd replace it, but I've heard that that's not always a sure thing to stop the noise (new one clicks as well or starts clicking soon after). Anyone have any experience with this?

I thought the clicking was normal even when new??? I've had the clicking since the day I bought the car a long time ago.

Really? It sounds awful, like a valve tick. Every time I drive into my local Taco Bell drive through, they know it's me from the ticking!
