GranTurismo 4.7 - Slight Engine Ticking Noise, Normal?

[Serkie]

Thanks for the replies everyone. Keano, I noticed the same with mine, it seemed to go away in the spring and summer but is back again now the temperature has fallen.

Comes and goes for me since i have had it and currently I have ticking which seems to be since the weather turned. During the summer nothing and i recall after a service it also went away. There was a member on here who has since sold his Maserati that had it - he had the EVAP changed and i believe it went away. not an expensive part and will prob get it done next time its in

What is the EVAP?

Mine made a **** of a racket the other morning after being left outside on the frosty mornings. Never heard it before or since.

Just to confirm, can you hear the tick in the car when stationary? I know what injectors sound like when the bonnet is up, just wanting to confirm it's those I can hear in the cabin.

Yes sometimes if I'm at traffic lights with window down I can hear it inside the cabin.

Both of mine have made this noise and as others have said, the colder it is and the longer the car is left between uses, the louder it is but in my experience, it has got quieter the warmer the engine is. I have never worried about it, nor have the mechanics who have looked after my cars
