any ideas? 🙄
On start up and then idle??? If so 'tis normal.
relay of some kind going haywire
gone through several on the indicators (integral part of the hazard switch) on my VW
all sorts of other relays hidden behind there

yeah its just when you stop it ticks for 2 or 3 seconds? or when the clutch is depressed at slow speeds.
Its a bomb
Is it an analogue clock?
it's the clock
doh! darcy beat me to it
sorry i should have thought about the non existant analogue clock or the fact it could be an explosive device 🙄
🙂
monkeychild - normal?
i had a clicking sound when my speedo cable went.
out of control relay seems likely. if it happens when you dip your clutch, when stopped or at slow speeds first check would be to see if any wires go from the clutch pedal to the back of the dash? Also, presumably it happens when out of gear (stopped) so could it be brake related? A relay to the brake lights? If its speed related, try to think of what functions are altered by speed, a few i can think of would be that annoying turnin the stereo down thing when you slow, wipers that get faster as you do? lights again?
Filing that could be a gearbox issue since it only happens when th drive is disengaged?
Best thing i can offer is isolate the circumstances that cause the noise, then try to isolate where the noise is coming from then repair/ replace what ever is causing the noise. or turn the stereo up.
Is there still a panel of relays that you can change like fuses? If so, find it, listen to it and see which one it is. Then look it up in the Haynes book.
Is it your climate control/heater shifting its diverters around?
Middle of the dash? Like an indicator click but faster? Indicator stalk needs replacing
'Tis common on 1.8Ts I have had 2xOcty vRS that did it.
its the passenger side of the dash, from what sounds like behind it. Only when the clutc is down and only at very low speeds. The garage said it was the dual mass flywheel, spoke to skoda UK and they agreed to pay half the repair bill (the car is four years old). I'll be proper pissed if this is another sizeable bill
mines a 1.9td by the way
Ahhh errr not normal then lol. Join briskoda.net/forums and ask there as there are quite a few folk who know their VAG cars and mechanicals 🙂
HTH

Hmmm, be interested to know the answer to this one as our Golf Plus (1.9TDi) has a similar knocking noise that sounds like its in the glove box. We haven't really investigated much though. Only issue with the car is that the climate control is a bit erratic...given this thread, could be linked to the knocking.
nuke, if the climate control is eratic it may pay to get someone to look at the aircon compressor, if it self destructs it will be expensive. I seem to remember that the aircon clutch can work loose just a matter of tightening a bolt, unless it comes off in which case things break.
Did you get it from a Muslim with an empty rucksack ? 😛

Okay, cheers. The air con works it just more that if you set it to 20deg it might be seem cooler when driving fast on A roads and motorways but then in built up traffic it then gets too warm....its hard to regulate the temperature on a journey involving both fast and slow speed driving!
my air con works fine, looks like its going back in again 🙄
