looks like you and i are in the same boat. i also have this noise. i think THIS noise is normal. it's a constant tick, right? no idea what it is, but i've been told it's nothing out of the ordinary.SMG said:Hey guys,
I find when I'm stopped at a light, or after I've pulled into my parking spot, I hear a ticking noise.
Not like a clock, but much louder.
Is this normal?
Thanks!

But what's weird he is saying its doing it while idling at a light... I've never noticed a car do this while it is still running....007 said:the engine is cooling down and the metal is contracting.

You're absolutely right. I missed the "stopped at light" part, and just assumed he meant when he shut down.Porkchop said:But what's weird he is saying its doing it while idling at a light... I've never noticed a car do this while it is still running....
didn't catch that. so is it while it's on, or after? secondary air pumps click sometimes, as well as the a/c.Porkchop said:But what's weird he is saying its doing it while idling at a light.
Are these the original brake pads?slugbug123 said:i have a 98 beetle . . . my brakes squeak too. it's the most annoying thing in the world![]()
I know that my '99 does it when it needs an oil change, our old '99 did the same thing as well.SMG said:Hey guys,
