I run a 2006 C5 2litre HDi Exclusive Estate and once every week /10 days when I start the engine , there's ticking/clicking noise from the OSF engine area which lasts for 10 secs max. Everything seems to work Ok . There's little point in taking it to a garage as it won't misbehave to order . Any ideas ? Is it serious ? Fortunately it'a lease car. Only done 10K miles

I was very pleased to find this site as my local dealer was 1 mile away but has gone bust and I now have no one to ask questions

c4,s have a noisy canaster bleed electro valve that tick every now and again which is normal but not sure about c5's. its located in the top of the drivers side wing. is this where the noise is coming from.

Maybe just the hydraulic pump adjusting the height. If you had done many more miles I would have said look at the crank pulley because they tend to breakup at around 100K. (Was the dealer that went under Lovekyns?)

I was wondering about the crank pulley Amazingly it made the noise twice in one day today which is very rare. Never from a cold start .I'm not going to worry till it gets worse , it won't cost me as it's on lease

I like the car , superb cruiser with the 6 speed maual box and full spec

 

Full marks for guessing Lovekyns .I live 1 mile from the Ruxley Lane branch. Open one day, boarded up the next. Shame as quite liked them , well , compared to my local Renault (Rubbish)/Nissan/Peugeot franchise........

 

Any suggestions where to take the car now ?

Latest suggestion is that it's the EGR valve going through a self cleaning cycle
