I have this ticking noise on my 99 Weekender. We also have the same ticking
noise on our 99 New Beetle. On the New Beetle Email List there was a
discussion a while back in which many said it was the fuel injection. Don't
know if this is right or wrong, just passing on an idea.

My 2000 EV has about 2500 miles on it. It has made a noise since day
one. It is a faint ticking noise that you can hear inside the car but
not out in the engine area. More noticable when under a load but you
can hear it at idle. It almost sounds like a tach cable or vacuum
ticking noise. It isn't in the engine. Anyone have a similar noise.
I'm going to drive another new EV to compare the sounds.

Maybe it is the power steering. Now that the weather has turned colder
(less than 40 deg F in the moring. There is a noise when making tight
turns. My wife always drives it so I don't hear it as much. Could be
a tight power steering system. Any thoughts? I do all of my own work
and really don't want to take it to the dealer (yet).

The noise is, in fact, the fuel injectors. The fuel injection system
consists of a "rail" which is continuously under pressure. The
injectors are electro-magnetic devices, which open and close with an
impulse from the engine management system. When they open and close,
they "click".

Could be the injectors. This system sounds different than our 88
Cabrio which is all mechanical fuel injection (no 2000 EV Bently
Manuals yet). The sound does vary with RPM. It is odd that it is a
louder sometimes that others. Thanks for the note. It has been there
since day one, not getting worse, so it sounds that you have hit the
likely cause. Just looking to sleep better. Thanks

I also hear a noise like this in my 99 EVC, I made it
go away by turning the radio on.
