xyber 1 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 my guess would be its a vacuum tank and the click is just a solenoid, judging buy the large black hose and electrical connetion Link to post Share on other sites
Bora4mo 0 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Ok, thanks I only noticed it as it sounded like the clicking from a spark plug... I don't know the engine very well and having never driven a petrol before (owned TDi's all my life) let alone a 6 cylinder I am not sure I'd notice it firing on 5 cylinders....It would still have more power and be smoother than my old diesel Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 yeah 5 cylinders feels very wrong, you would notice Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Pretty sure its for fuel vapours or something along those lines. Like the charcoal canister on MK3 VR's. There's a solenoid in it IIRC, not sure exactly what it does though. Link to post Share on other sites

UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thats the EVAP solenoid on top of the charcoal filter. Completely normal. Link to post Share on other sites

Mk3 VR is down behind bumper and you wouldnt hear it tick if it did Link to post Share on other sites
