Hi Folks,
not posted for a while but been lurking away!!!
Couple of things to share and a question for you all....
I replaced my lower cam covers and gaskets this spring as following a very low mileage count last year, my lower cam covers went from an annoying drip that could be wiped from the inside of the engine cover to a few drips making it to the garage floor :evil:
Suffice to say I needed a cheap set of Umi nut extractors from Amazon to remove the cap screws as 90% of them were shot, but the main point to share was the copious use of black silicon seal that had been used to seal the gasket covers (see pics). Honestly, for the price of the seals at £22 each, why would you even consider this! I've never done the cam covers in my ownership (12 years) so it clearly worked for a previous owner but still.....
Anyway, question for the masses: I have a clicking noise behind the passenger side of the dashboard, not a whirring CCU fan noise but a clicking. It's not related to fan speed or CCU use. CCU is working fine, all fan speeds are good and temperature is functioning (no AC in my car by the way) I've searched and searched but not found anything other than a possible vacuum issue maybe? No power losses supporting the possible vacuum leak hence at a bit of a loss...
Ideas and comments appreciated.... ('94 993 C2 by the way)
