Think,  i have the same noise.  sounds like air,  but goes away after 45 secs or so.

Aint that a ticking noise

[welshdean]

I've had a listen to the charcoal canister and it doesn't seem to be that. I havnt got a clue where it's coming from though . Sounds around the engine area though, rather than the sides of the engine area

[jamie16v]

Does it get faster/louder when you rev the engine?

[WadGTI]

I listened tomines today.  After a min,  i heard like a valve closing and the noise stopped.  From wot other people have said,  thinking its for the air pump,  in such works for the cat if that is correct?

Post a vodeo and i will tell,  of its the same as mines.

deans is an agu, so that doesn't have an air pump?.. also odd, I think its a 52 plate 

[welshdean]

Jamie, mines a 1999 mate not 2002

[jamie16v]
