2014 V8 VantageS, SSII Transaxle
So guys I have a new noise coming from the transaxle. Under acceleration or basic cruising there is no noise but when I lift I get a clicking sound. Sounds like a relay or module fluttering or a solenoid rattle. It doesn't matter whether I just pushed the drive button or am using paddle shifting. Any ideas?

 

Any chance you can get a video of it? It's difficult to diagnose most noises via description alone.

 

I will certainly try to get a recording but it's not a very loud noise.

 

just as important is where it’s coming from

 

Compressor clutch engaging/disengaging is generally super loud on these cars. So is the purge solenoid from the back. Without hearing it, those are usually my first thoughts. Both are totally normal though.

 

Well guys, after a 4 day, 800 mile drive the noise is gone. It was coming from the SSII hydraulic pump. It finally made the noise when I opened the door and the pump activated. Now I have to chase down the "DSC Service" message that's popping up occasionally and with the VantageS the pressure sensor is not at the master cylinder.
