I have just bought a Limited Edition 1.4 and while idling a ticking or clicking can be heard from the engine. The dealer tells me that it is the Fuel Tank Ventilation Valve (which you can feel pulsing).

Is this something that you should be able to hear quite as clearly? It's not something I've ever come across before.

I hope you can help. Thank you very much in anticipation.

I heard a ticking/clicking from my engine recently and wondered what it was. Went away once car was warm. Can't say I have heard it since, just the once.

Not heard this on mine yet or on any car I have owned ?

I had this on my old 307 and it was very loud. Can't here anything on the corsa

Yeah, absolute silence on my 1.4T on startup. Sometimes not even sure engine has started!

Is it like a pulsing noise?

I heard something like that today but only because I was listening out for it.

Thanks everyone. In answer to joeboy - yes it is like a pulsing noise.

So, given this seems like a rarity, I guess I need to ask my dealer to find a solution.

I too have this problem with my 1.4 Corsa. On idling there is a constant ticking noise from under the bonnet. Vauxhall had a look today and told me it's the fuel tank valve. It's quite common apparently but nothing to worry about. I'm just gonna play my music loud, you can't hear it then😊
