I have a 2017 Toyota Auris Petrol 1.2t.
The car has about 8000 miles on the clock and has been treated very well, fully serviced and well taken care of.
I noticed a few new noises in my engine bay yesterday.
One is a loud clicking noise, sounds like a solenoid firing in quick succession. This noise is perceivable as soon as you turn the engine on, accelerating seems to make no difference, depressing clutch or moving steering makes no difference. It switches off when engine start/stop kicks in, but turns on as soon as the engine kicks back over.
The second noise is a loud droning noise. It almost sounds like the noise you would expect from an electrical generator/transformer. Its a loud humming drone. Its not noticeable immediately but after driving for a few minutes, you can hear it. Accelerating seems to make no difference, depressing clutch or moving steering makes no difference. It switches off when engine start/stop kicks in, turns on as soon as the engine kicks back over. Once the noise has started, its returns.
Please be aware this car is not the hybrid version. (Mod edit: shouting removed)
The car itself appears to drive ok. I haven't yet noticed any degradation in performance or MPG, there are no warning lights active, but as I haven't heard these noises before I thought it was best to check with the community for some help.
I have linked two Youtube videos. Apologise for the portrait vs landscape.
I have also attached a screenshot showing the approximate location of the noise as far as I can hear.
