Hi All,
New to forum so please be gentle with me. I have a year 2000 Amazon with a Tartarini LPG system fitted. The LPG system was fitted in 2007 whereas I bought the car a few weeks ago. Starts a drives perfectly but it has a strange noise coming from the engine bay when revving the engine. The noise can only be described as a harsh ticking, you do not notice it in the car unless you have the windows down and at low speeds. It's more prominent at lower revs, it may be that the engine notice drowns the ticking at higher revs but it is present. Also seems less noticeable after a run.
I have lifted the bonnet and the noise appears to come from the passenger side of the engine bay. I have just driving the LC 300 miles with no problems, no smoke, no over heating, oil pressure seems fine.
The only other time I have heard a similar sound is when I had a car with a leaking exhaust manifold collar.
I am going to take it a local garage to get it checked but any pointers would be highly recommended.
Thanks in advance!
