DC2 VTI-R clicking

[HoBoz]

Hi, i've searched the forums and can't find a similar probelm. Sorry if the topic is already up.
I've isolated the probelm of the clicking/ticking to the the area where the fuel injectors are, can anyone think of something that would make this noise and what can be done to solve the probelm?

my injectors click away happily in the first 5 mins of a cold morning start...
noise disappears once warmed.

I've used injector cleaner additives before... but found that they dont do anything at all... so i just live with it.

I have a DC5R and I have a similar ticking noise, described as

Recently started ticking at idle and low rpms. The noise sounds like it's coming from the belt area. You'll notice it with the windows shut, but it's more prevalent when u got them open. Doesn't discriminate against engine temperature (will hear when warm or cold).

Could anyone clarify?

Touge Tune, or IS Motor Racing.

Ben from Touge Tune will make you leave your car in the shop overnight though - so everything is ice cold for adjustment.

Any idea how much it will cost for a full major service? and the tappet adjustment?

Call him maybe

btw what is actually changed in a full major service

[VTECMACHINE]

For a full major 100,000 km service, Ben will change, cam seals, water pump, timing belt, adjust tappets, change engine oil and filter, possibly g/b oil, and brake fluid (depending on when you last got these changed), change fuel filter. Give it a good check over.

However, ultimately it's up to you what you want to service, and how you want it done, and he will do what you want him to do... but he will advise what he thinks you should do. Great guy, been going to him for ages, and he has never screwed up. Price is good compared to other performance machanic shops too.

PM me if you want me to hook it up.

Cheers.
