04 wrx makes ticking noise
anyone know what would cause this. Sounds like its coming from the belt. But im not sure. I am taking it in tomorrow to have it looked at, but wanted to know what it might be. I only had the car a week so far.

Some amount of engine noise is normal, these are not silent engines. The valves have solid lifters rather than hydraulic and you may be hearing them, the injectors may tick as well. The dealer will tell you if what you are hearing is normal, and for confirmation you can ask to listen to another car there to see if it makes the same sounds.

lifters?
