Ok so I have an 05 xA, had it since May. I do alot of driving I use to work in La Jolla which was a 60 mile drive one way. I'ts now reduced to 35 because know I work in oceanside. but anyway besides that. Is anybody's engine super noisy/ticky? I can deal with the hissing and slight ticking but what really get's me is the insane ticking sound coming from my pulleys! especially my powersteering pulley...anybody have suggestions?

 

i dont hear the ticking but i hear the hissing for sure, i listen to so much music in mine i dont hear it though.

 

hissing???

the ticking is your fuel injectors.

but a hissing?! hmmmmm

time to take it to the dealer.

 

its like a real low noise. i guess not so much hissing but a low noise. i thnk its just when you need to shift down.

 

if you have an intake system thats normal if you don't that might be a vacuum leak some where

 

ok, I guess it normal then, cause I have cold air, the ticking seems to be coming from my engine,it's due for an oil change so I'll se how much goes away, if it still ticks a bit or the same, then I probably (so I've heard) may need toget my valves realigned.

 

Word up on that. I keep the volume above 30 at almost all times. Heavy metal was meant to be played loud.
