Ticking noise on acceleration
My Son's 53 plate 1.4 with 75k on clock has developed a light ticking noise on acceleration. The car starts ok but a bit lumpy and stalls sometimes but otherwise runs fine, no misfires or any other problems. no warning lights, oil is looking fine. I thought it may have been just a vibration as the engine mounts are wearing but no joy! Any ideas?

Re: Ticking noise on acceleration
Hi,
one elimination process worth doing is to take the alternator belt off and see if it stops.
Obviously you only need a short test run.
lf the noise is still there, you at least know it's in the engine and not an ancillary part.
Good luck
Bob.
