ticking/clicking sound from engine only when heat is on
did a search, it seems like clicking noises are water pump related? This only happens when my heat is running though(weather the car is warmed up or not). is this normal? Thanks

are you sure it's from the engine, or is it the little fan inside the HVAC controller... that
will tick pretty loud and sometimes almost seem like it's motor related,,,

thanks... yes, its definately the fan because the sound goes away if I shut off the heat
and comes back on when i turn it on. it definately sounds like a fan, but there is just a wierd ticking sound that I wanted to make sure is normal.. anyone else here this?

pretty common,,, there was a write up a few weeks back about someone putting oil on it... might want
to search the archives a bit to see whats out there.
