are you referring to the constant clicking sound. hum... do you know where generally is the sounding coming from??

 

That doesnt sound right to me.

 

That doesn't sound normal at all. Just curious, are you using an aftermarket clutch?

 

What gas/oil/driving style are you? What mods?

 

No aftermarket anything, no mods use 87 in the tank. Its mostly only happens or is noticed when i have the AC on. Oil level is good, use MB1 syn every 4500 miles. I have 50K on the motor - Drive a lot of highway.

 

I might try and take it into the stealership next week if i get a chance.

 

If it happens when your AC is on your blower motor for the air if probably going out. Mine was doing the same thing so I replaced it. Problem solved.

Holy ___! Never mind should have turned the volume up louder on my computer up first! That sounds serious.. Stealership worthy.

 

Only reason i am not overly concerned it it only seems to happen when the AC kicks on so i doubt its any major motor issues.

 

sounds like your ac compressor is going bad.

 

That's what i was thinking. When i start the car without AC there is no clicking. Once i heared the compressor start i hear the loud clicking.

Whats the warranty 100K ?

 

Doubtful.. maybe 30 or 60k depending.

 

30 is out the window. Hmmmm ill call and ask. If its going to cost ill just do it myself.

 

my idle revs changed but i dont get a clicking noise

 

i have the same clicky sound when my AC is on....but not as bad.

 

Broken motor mount?

 

i compressor wont even turn on as of yesterday and it was making that sound for a few weeks before, but i was also hearing another noise sounding like a loose pulley or something, i have to replace my compressor, i found one online for 600 but toyota parts dept said 2400

 

600 and 2400? Good god. It's not a Benz. I'd be cross referencing to see what other models share the same compressor. Corolla maybe?

 

thats because the 2400 is with labor, freon, evac and recharge, oil, reciever dryer,oriface tube, and a ac system flush. thats the only way the compressor wont be warrentied if you dont do the other stuff with it.

 

Well the stealership said "I can't hear anything out of the ordinary." The car has to be warmed up and then have the AC turned on for them to hear it which i know they didnt wait for. They also did an inspection while i was there so hopefully that means nothing major will happen. Like said before, i know it has to be something with the AC compressor so maybe in the next week or so ill be able to get under the car and look for myself.
