got my car back from the dealer and i drove it for 15 kms in highway then came to an exit and a stop sign for about one minuite to listen to see if the ticking was gone, no sound at all, the car seemed like it was off, very quit, no ticking of any kind,
go to your dealership and tell them exactly what i type here.
check engine ticking noise from engine area.
the diagnoses is faulty purge valve vacuum pipe
part : RP LF7V_20_370B Tube,VACUU
hope that helps, anybody need more help msg me, note ive been following up with this for over 2 weeks so its about my 4th time going to the same dealer to have this fixed, sending e-mails to mazda canada and filing claims against them.

it should solve your ticking if its coming from the engine area, mines completely gone, now when i come to a stop sign i hear nothing, its much quiter then before, maybe ur problem is diffrent?
I have had this for a while, what dealership fixed it for you???

I remember this part on the P5 I had... I replaced my factory intake with an Injen, and didn't line up the purge valve properly.. thing ticked heavily like a diesel.. luckily, i played with it, stood it up properly, and the noise went away..
As for ticking, I wish I could get rid of mine in my MS3.. but it is Direct-Injection.. boo for noise!
But glad you got the car fixed, I'll have to let my brother in law know as they have a M3 hatch sport.. he was telling me it ticks sometimes..

I suggest you go to mazda of toronto and give that that part number, its not like i just went in an it was fixed, it took me about a month with many many calls, letters , complaints untill i got it fixed, so dont expect to go in and for them to be like k... there gonna deny theres any sound at first

Has anyone else attempted to get it fixed? I notice the ticking does not start right away for me and only happens after driving a few KM. It continues to tick after my drive and when the car is in Park. When I come back and start the car, the ticking noise is gone.

for me it usually happens after a good 5- 10 min drive when u come to a stop sign or any sort of stop, it gets louder once u do more driving, usually at start up u can hardly hear it,
ogata keep me updated if ur able to get it fixed, i want to see if anyone else gets it done easier without running around for weeks

I ran around to 2 dealers months ago who did NOT detect it. I will trial again on my next oil change in January. What makes their testing inaccurate is that you have to drive for abit before you hear the ticking noise. If I drove around and told them, I'm SURE they would figure it out. I still have my clanking noise problem which neither 2 dealers were able to detect but it was SOOO detectable. I think the mechs are deaf.

when i got it they told me it sounded like that cause it needed to be broken in... it made no sence what so ever, all my friends have new cars ranging from vw,s to chevys to bmw , none has this sound but iam like ok what ever i know this is a problem but iam gonna follow what they say... i think it took 3 diffrent trips to the dealer + someone from mazda of canada comin down driving the car untill they were able to detect it.... if u find u tried many times and ur getting no where then as a last thing to do i would file a complaint with mazda of canada, they responded in about a day i think, the guy i talked to was very helpful

I thought as much but even with a Speed3, I bet you won't notice that ticking noise when the exhaust is farting that loud! I'll agree on stock, it sounds nasty and I only want myself to fart the loudest as opposed to my own 3. :bana Let us know on your update on Tuesday. Good Luck!

went today again, apperantly the sound iam hearing now is actually not the ticking for purge valve, its from the njectors, the injectors in the 3 are brutually loud.... now my initial problem is fixed, injectors iam going to have to deal with , nothing can be done about that. so i recommend u go and get ur purge valve changed but dont expect a silent car like a rolls royce phantom , its not going to happen

I dropped my car off last night to get an oil change done today at the dealership but I told them about the ticking sound and how it sounds like a diesel. I also have my radiator fan on all the time so I have that noise too. They said the technician could not hear anything!!! Its so loud, when they called I asked them if they drove it for at least 10 mins and he said yes. The technician is probably deaf. I heard bad things about this dealership and I will be switching from them. He told me that the techs leave by 4 pm so I would have to take a day off and come in. Are you kidding me? If anything the tech should be there unitl 6pm when the service department is closes.

I replaced my purge valve at MOT a year ago? Anyway, a similar sound still existed, but I never bugged them about it.
When I was leaving MOT one time I saw Raymond, he is the one who usually works on my car, and I asked him about it. He said it was the fuel injectors.
I was @ Jimmy's for a punctured tire and asked Jimmy about it, he confirmed that the fuel injectors are indeed this loud.
I was @ Gilmen's yesterday for alignment. I asked him as well, he confirmed what the other two mechanics said.

My ticking was not noticeable the first two days and then I noticed it, but it would disappear after idling for a short time. Now it never disappears.
I will have the dealer check the purge valve.
I don't understand how the injectors would cause a ticking sound. Wouldn't they be ticking at the same frequency as the engine rpm which is 17 ticks per minute at 1000rpm.
mazdas3sporte
10-28-2008, 12:09 PM
there is only one type of ticking that they say is abnormal and thats the diseal type ticking sound, theres another ticking that actually the injectors and I kno for sure its more then 17 ticks per minuite i would guess anywhere between 60-65 ticks ... i dont know where u got the 17 from, u need to kno that the injectors on the mazda 3 are extremly loud, but appreantly its normal... my ticking sounds were sometimes louder and sometimes quiter but thats as much as i kno, if ur gonna take it to the dealer make sure ur in the car and ur the driver so u can tell them of the sound, if they drive ur car alone they will say that they cant hear it
Well that's the problem. Sometimes I have it and sometimes not. I guess if it starts going all the time I'll fix it. Is it gonna cause problems or just noise?
mazdas3sporte
10-28-2008, 09:18 PM
iam not sure if its gonna cause problems later on or not , iam no mechanic but just cause it was very very very annoying i decided to do something about it, u never know if its gonna cost a safety issue with the car

does it sound rough at idle only? or is your acceleration/cruising actually rough?

I only hear it when it's idle. The vibrations are not noticeable when driving only when I lift the hood I can feel with my hand. Something did happen because it used to be smooth as butter...
Also i did notice they put a bit too much oil in the engine because it is a couple on mm past the max line on the dip stick.
Maybe this is causing it?

Too much engine oil causing such an issue, is not something I have answers to. Better to call a mechanic.
did any of your engines mount leak oil?

I believe I am now hearing this ticking noise too. Noticed it a few days ago when idling in the morning. It does not go away when the engine is warmed up. When I put the vehicle into park after a while it is noticeable there. I can't recall it being there before but the engine has not sounded quiet/smooth since the first day I got the ride. I am also hearing creaks coming from the cowl/windshield and glovebox which seem to be all issues that many have come across even on here. Aside that, I still have that switch noise when I got a fan on (can be a/c, heating or just air, regardless of what it is, it keeps coming off and on if the fans are on).
I'm debating whether to wait for my oil change or go in with it right now. I just got the car earlier this month, it has just under 1500 KM!!! I've been babying it.
Any suggestions? As much as I enjoy it I am not liking all this stuff that is popping up.

Does your engine "ticking noise" sound similiar to this engine's ticking noise before the guy revs up the engine?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmBcCAVE1Q&feature=related
If so, that is the injectors and is normal. If it is a different or louder ticking noise, than most likely the purge valve needs replacing.
It would be immensely helpful if anyone with this diesel sounding engine ticking could take an audio clip of the noise and post it up on here for others to listen too. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum, inlcuding some Mazda techs and master techs.
The creaking in the windshield/cowl is a known TSB and I have it posted in the Mazdaspeed section under stock issues. Just print that off and take it to the dealer and they will fix it for you. I just had it done on my MS3 and it addresses the problem.
The click/switch noise that comes on when the AC or fan are engaged is also normal. Happened on my old Protege, happens on my wife's 3 and happens on my MS3 too and i've heard it in every vehicle I've ever been a passenger in too, inlcluding my bosses new BMW 5 series. You can simulate the clicking sound by turning on the AC then turning it off and leaving it for a few seconds and then turning it back on. You may even feel a slight shudder at engagement. It is just the AC condensor/compressor kicking in.
If you use the window or window/floor setting, the AC is being utilized so you will hear this noise a lot and will have worse fuel economy and less engine power. The car will also feel like it is running rougher as the AC takes a lot of power from the engine. The auto climate control can also do the same thing if you are leaving that on all the time.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I meant 17 tics per second per cylinder. I was thinking that if the movement of the injectors was the sound, then it would be too fast too hear as individual click (17*4=68 ticks per second).
But the tick could be due to wave harmonics/interference and crap like that so there really is no way to discount the injectors as a source of another ticking sound.

I have a ticking noise at idle as well, but it seems to be accompanied by a reasonably high-pitched whine. Neither noise is heard while driving, but both are very clear at a stop sign without any audio playing. When accelerating from a stop or turning the engine off, the whine decreases in pitch and volume, and the ticking ceases. Both noises started a couple weeks after I got my car - I'll have MOT look into it when I go for my first service in December. Does anyone else have this strange combination?

The whine is the power steering (I think the dealer told me it was an electric) and the sound is normal. That whine is also the last thing I here winding down when I shut off my car. You could confirm the fluid level in that system but otherwise it is normal.
For the ticking you have to differentiate between the valves being slightly loud on this type of car (the dealer will always use that as the reason) and a different diesel type ticking sound. Mine seems to have worked itself out after 6 months but it is hard to be sure.

This ticking is abnormal and very noticeable. Sounds like there is something loose under the hood. The only thing is, it's not constant.
Ok, well after the first trip to the dealer nothing's been fixed. The tech said he can't hear nothing and that the car is still too new and still learning my way of driving. Bullshit. And that was at Oakville Mazda too. Drove all the way there for nothing.

Do your engines have solid or hydraulic lifters?
Just want to make sure the sound i have is the correct sound..
With the video on youtube, when he unplugs that wiring, thats what my engine sounds like. That is the ticking noise correct? When he has it plugged in thats something wrong with his car or is that the ticking you guys are talking about?
I was just out now, its raining and very humid day, but as i was dropping a friend off he told me my car was makign a noise, i got out and there was a loud ticking noise, a noise you can hear standing a good 10-15 meters away. I turned off the car, turned it back on and it was still there, i drove a bit and it dissappeared.
Could this be this issue talked about in this thread?

A tapping/clatter type noise might be heard from engine at operating temperature and when warm. The noise may come from the inside of the intake manifold.
To verify, close the Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (IMTV #) PID using WDS. The workshop manual calls this the variable intake-air shutter valve actuator. For procedure, see following instructions. If noise goes away with IMTV # = OFF, replace intake manifold assembly.
1. ID vehicle (Note - select "automatic" if A/T equipped, not ASM.) 2. Select TOOLBOX 3. Select DATALOGGER. Press Tick 4. Select POWERTRAIN 5. Select ENGINE. Press Tick 6. Select IMTV # PID. Press Tick 7. At Datalogger screen, select IMTV # 8. Press # button on right side of screen 9. Press button with icon showing hand. IMTV # changes to IMTV = 10. Press "-" button. IMTV changes from ON to OFF 11. Verify tapping/clatter noise stops with IMTV = OFF, then comes back with IMTV = ON, by toggling "+" and "-" buttons. 12. If verified, replace intake manifold assembly by following procedure outlined in WSM section 01-13, INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM.

a TSB is NOT a recall
some 2006s are affected because the TSB was printed in 2005 and was never updated... the part was not redesigned until mid 2006
Oh i see, ok next time im in for oil change im just going to print that out for them.
So its not the purge valve as stated in the first post of the thread?

mine's still ticking, but I doubt that it's the same ticking as what is discussed in this thread. i started hearing the ticking sound after i installed the SRI but i didn't put back the stock airbox just to see if the ticking goes away. anyway, mine's an auto and here's how I hear the ticking: i don't hear it on first gear, driving normally it shifts at around 2500rpm to 2nd gear, and during this time if i floor the gas pedal, i'll hear the ticking sound until around 4000rpm. 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, i will hear the ticking. so basically, aside from 1st gear, if i'm on a gear at around 1500-2000rpm and i step on it, i'll hear the ticking. no ticking when idle. the ticking sounds like the ticking that you hear on a taser gun (at least that's how i can best describe it). it doesn't soud anything like metal parts hitting each other? any ideas? anyone have this same sound?

engine pinging... your MAF isn't getting the correct air readings and it's causing the engine to run lean
get rid of the intake and put it back to stock if you want to fix it

wwhhhaaatttt?????
maybe it's not lean enough to throw a CEL? hmm well it makes sense... but anybody else having SRI or CAI's installed with the same issue??

Maybe your SRI is knocking onto something on your engine bay area that is causing the ticking sound since it seems to only happen at higher RPMs...just a thought because people who installed the Ractive SRI have that problem, but I'm not sure if it's the same problem as yours. I myself have the Ractive SRI installed and I do hear a ticking sound when I go to higher RPMs.
