    That heater valve ticking noise drives me NUTS.

    I think the forums needs to work out if its actually working properly, or if everyones is broken!

    If you turn off the fans to min/0 and change the temps up high etc, you can hear the motor move, but that ticking must be it regulating for a certain air temperature in the cabin I guess.

    For MONTHS I thought it was my keys hitting the steering column cover!

    If it ticks, it's working. Very small movement against the valve once temps are balanced/achieved......................
