Hey guys, I’m new here. Got an ‘03 with 296000km on it, so she’s going strong. Recently I’ve noticed a strange clicking sound coming from the opposite side to the belt and it’s recurring when idling. My car sits at around 700-800 rpm, which I’ve seen in other forums is normal…

I’ll see if I can upload a video but I’ve read it could be something to do with a valve? Should I be worried?

There are a lot of threads here about ticking sounds around the airbox, there's a vacuum switching valve that ticks, which is normal. I'd be inclined to ignore it myself. you could try to take some piece of a hose to use as a stethoscope just to make sure its not coming from the engine
