So I've been dealin with a chattering/ticking noise and found out on another forum that it was the vacuum pump. I replaced it and the ticking sound got much louder, is it just breaking in? Any thoughts on this?
I've found those pumps to be quite unreliable. your new pump may be bad. I've quieted mine down for a little while by trickling oil into the vacuum hose. good luck, I hate those things
Thanks for the reply, I did notice the hose I connected to it was old and kinked up so I will try replacing that. Is that the hose oil should be running through?
yes. I don't remember exactly but I think they make more noise if they are pumping a lot of air. may want to look for vacuum leaks. you can test it buy putting your finger over the end of the tube and seeing if it quiets down any
