Strange Click/tick

hey all,

just got myself a new mk3 st-3 tdci and have a question someone might be able to answer for me.

if i drive my focus gently only using 1/4 throttle everything is hunky dory and no issues. yet if i use half throttle or more i get a sort of click/tick noise on acceleration and deceleration.

it almost sounds like something opening and closing. it won't happen in all gears and i can only hear it with the window open.

this happens if the car is cold or warm and at varying revs.

it seems most pronounced in 2nd, if i half throttle from 20 'click' then ease off the throttle at 30/35 another 'click'. it's very similar in 1st and 3rd at different speeds, but i don't seem to hear it in 4th and above.

could it be something to do with the active vent or sound symposer?

and i have to mention that with both my mk3 st250s i never heard this noise

thanks in advance for any help,

cheeRS
