Hi audi coupe 94 2.0 16v ace , while im driving i can hear a ticking noise coming from somewer think from engine thats my guess , the ticking noise gets louder on aceleration, if im parked and rev the car i cant hear anything only when i drive , noise is more noticeable when driving past other cars.

Hello, I have a 1993 2.0 16V which also ticks but not always. I made an amateurish stethoscope (funnel plugged into the end of a piece of flexible pipe) and isolated the coil pack as the source of the noise.

It is bolted to the bulkhead, in the engine bay, which acts as a sound board to amplify the tick. So far nothing has actually broken and with the radio loud enough the tick cannot be heard. The part that makes the tick seems to be some sort of solid state device and not the coil itself. I have left it and acclimatised to it.

I dont know about my manifold but i know that my exhaust from the middle and rear box is naff its blowing , but can that cause it to tick while im driving , ticking gets quicker when only i give it gas.
