04 CLK55 ticking from engine bay drivers side??
Random ticking from drivers side of engine bay. Sounds like a lifter, but does not get louder at higher rpms, stayst he same. Does not always do it, seems like it only does it once its warmed up. Today i drove it 30 minutes, stopped put it in park and let it idle and it was ticking, shut the car off, started it right back up and no ticking.

If you have a code reader, unplug the MOT the next time it's clicking. If the sound stops , thats it. Plug it back in and order a new one. Unplugging the MOT while the car is running may trigger a CEL. You can reset the CEL with the code reader.

The ticking is from the canister purge valve. Has been ticking for a few weeks. Now tonight it is running fine and just dies and will not restart, had to give it gas to restart it, now i have a CEL. Could this be link to the canister purge valve???
