Ticking noise coming from drivers headlight area?



  Nothing at the mo :(
Anyone know what it can be.. you can only really hear it wihle stationary..

And if you blip the throttle up to about 3k it goes away and comes back about 30 secs later.. its not loud loud but you can hear it when outside putting your head near the headlight..

Also the car isnt sluggish or anything, if anything its running top notch.. and its deff a clicking noise.. not a diesel sound :D

Ive heard this noise on mine as well but its went away. i also had both belts changed over a few months back and at the same time a canister valve was replaced because of an emissions light.

Carbon cannister catches fuel gases from the tank and buffers them and directs them into the air inlet in partial load situations. just an environment thing like a closed oil breather. if you are annoyed, get rid of it but keep the valve plugged in.
