Hi any ideas on a ticking/tapping noise? The noise only happens at low revs and you can only hear it sitting in the car. When you listen for it with someone else revving the car you cant hear it (even with bonnet open)

 

Could be the fuel injectors, or cam followers if they are worn. (if Scoobies have em').

mine used to do that - before the engine finally f@cked up and I had to get a new one!!! That said, i have heard a few tappety ones - particularly classics.

 

lad sure that could be the heat shield rattling a bit or anything, bring it someone who knows their subaru stuff asap is my advice

 

Had a few people have a look. Get the usual need to take it in for a look. Not caused by the heat sheild checked that

 

not a dodgy relay under the drivers side dash?.....you wont hear that from outside..

 

I Think I Have The Same Noise,Can Hear Mine Inside Or Out Of Car,Only On Tickover Though ( 800 ish Rpm ), Seems To Go Away At Around 1100 Rpm, Quite Loud & Annoying, 94 WRX

 

Mine made that noise (ticking) before the clutch release bearing gave in.
