MPS 6 engine bay making clicking noises?

[kh92]

After a drive home, I noticed a clicking noise in the engine bay, I popped the bonnet and gave the tinyest rev, and sounded like the clicking noise was clicking faster.. any idea?

probably tappet or lifter noise. how many km? mines at 113 000km and needed a very mild adjustment for age. due for a service? thin or worn oil will increase tappet noise because the oil cant make it all the way up to the top of the engine as efficiently.

i used nulon 10-40w in my MPS6 service 2 weeks ago, wow what an improvement. snicktey clicky noise goneski. i also dumped the manual trans oil and replaced with Penrite SYN 75w-90. masssssive improvement to shift feel. also replaced brake fluid and had a significant improvement in clutch clamp force and smoothness (MPS6 runs a combined brake/clutch reservoir if you haven't noticed :P)

It could just be the sound of the engine, as direct injected motors idle more loudly

fuel pump as well, the pump is mechanical, and runs via the cam.

55xxx km, so nothing serious for me to worry about?

MPS can sound like a kids' percussion class if you listen out quite hard.

I would say based on your description that it is just the normal fuel pump and injector sounds as mentioned, maybe search some clips on you tube and listen to the engine noises (theres always a video of someone stuffing a video camera in their engine bay to show off their new bov), if yours sounds different it might need further investigation.

Just started up the cold engine this morning to let it warm up, and there was no clicking noise, it only happens after I drive it.. im scared

You REALLY need to meet with another 6 MPS owner or owners local to you, listen to their car and see if it does the same thing. Then ask all the questions you have and have them show you what all the stuff is you've been asking about recently.

You're going to worry yourself sick over analysing every single thing the car does and/or noise it makes ...
