Well, generally you hear it tick as loud as it does because the solenoid and/or hoses attached to it are pressing against the splash sheild in the wheel arch thus the noise resonates through the car body etc. I pulled my splash sheild off and stuck some adhesive foam rubber strips to the solenoid and hoses to insulate them against the splash sheild where they touch it and this quitened it down majorly for many months but eventually the foam rubber started to wear out lol.
Probably the only permanent fix might be to get a better solenoid valve (better noise dampened) from an electrical/industrial/truck supplies place etc. or else re-arrange the way it is mounted with some different hoses/adaptors etc. so it doesn't sit against anything. Both relatively easy options. BTW - the ticking does not indicate any sorta problem with the solenoid - it's just what they do - it's just damn annoying is all lol. Steve. |
