tick tick tick

[leo7]

car is off road at the mo and just realised that there is a ticking under the hood its coming from the little black pot just infront of the coolent tank any ideas what it may be?
oh and my car is a 2000 leon 20vt sport any one on what turbo will be on it k03 ??? upgrade is in mind cheers . . .

The one with the green top with a slot in it? if so i think its the power steering, i think it is the k03 as the cupra has the k03s.....or is it the other way round

 

[rhumber]

The '2000 leon 20vt sport' is the same car as the Cupra

And that is a Ko3S, the Cupra R has a Ko4

I think that's right anyway, if not someone will be along shortly to correct me !

it is something to do with emissions control and its normal to tick see this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=146988&highlight=Charcoal

I was wondering the same thing the other day because I wanted to know if it was a seviceable item

I have this ticking as well in my LCR! Could this really be the power steering? I have had it since i bought the car several months ago and not looked into it!

I was under the impression that the early 20vT Sports / Cupra's run K03 and the new (possible from facelift onwards) run a K03S.

Defo won't be a K04 as this is LCR specific...

correct.


To be sure what turbo it is check the engine code. (3 letters top front offside corner of the engine).
you may need to remove the plastic cover, but i dont think you do.

If its APP ( i suspect it is) then its a K03 turbo.
if not its a K03s

 

[andycupra]

the tick is the charcoal filter emittions thingy. its normal for this to tick.

 

[dmmsta]

correct.

YAY - I got something right!

 

[traumapat]

they all lie. its a bomb

 

[G2232]

yeah its does tick
and should by all acounts tick more or loader on cold starts

 

[andycupra]

YAY - I got something right!

although not totally
the facelift does not indicat when K03s turbos were introduced.
Its difficult to actually pin down a date, but its probably early 2001.

hey guys dont think it has any thing to do wid power steering there are pipes that come out and seem to join to the inlet manifold??? will check tomorrow and try to get some pic's up. will check turbo too hope it aint just a k03!! cheers adam

an old response to an old question. couldnt resist

 

[Pabs]

The answer to this question is already in the thread - the ticking is the charcoal canister. This is perfectly normal, so no more investigation is required.

Just ckeck the engine code, If its APP then it will have the KO3, If its AUQ its KO3s
