waderz06 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I get a ticking noise from mine too. I thought an oil change would be a good place to start so did that, But the noise was still there. I wouldn't have put it down to the injectors though. As for 97 ron petrol i only notice a slight difference in power but i heard its better for the engine if you run jap import cars on the stuff. Sorry couldn't be more help bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_bullet Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 iv heard that using the 95 ron on jap specs can caus pinking (premiture ignition ) when being driven hard and can cause damage over time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo1971 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 sorry i forgot to mention when dipping the clutch the noise goes does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The usual one for noise from clutches is the release bearing being noisy. But I wouldn't describe it as ticking, it's more of a grating/grinding sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo1971 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 my clutch does that as well is it an expensive job to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 if the noise goes when you depress the clutch it sounds like the thrust bearing worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
