Indicator not clicking

[MilkDawg]

I have had my B8 saloon for a couple of weeks now and this morning noticed that when signalling there is no clicking noise. I could swear there was one when I got it but now not sure. I assume there should be one? It looks like the lights still work outside etc but just no noise. I tried the warning lights too and no click. Does anyone know where the speaker is for this please? I did some searching but didn't find anything on B8s. Car has only done 20k, odd!

My old A4 b8 didn't click, nor does my A5, thank god, it's so annoying.

Oh, my A3 8P did, so perhaps I was thinking of that. So your B8 had no noise at all when indicating?

 

[RS5 JON]

Just double checked the A5, it does click, duh!!,

I've never heard it do it before, or on the A4, but I do drive with the tunes up loud.

Doesn't help your original question though, my bad.

Lol! Thanks for checking. I wonder where the speaker is then. Surely they wont be relays these days. Hopefully someone knows.

 

[RS5 JON]

It does kind of sound like a relay click, not an amplified sound like you would get from a speaker, as you say, hopefully someone will know.

The A4 does click. The click comes from the instrument cluster. Does your alarm work ?

 

[MilkDawg]

I haven't checked but can later. What is the connection between the two?

B8.5 MY2015 and no click.

 

[MilkDawg]

Hmmm, well now I am confused!

Just got home and tested, yes the alarm works. Also, if I turn the stereo off, I can hear the soft clicking sound when indicating but its very low. So I think it was working as I thought but the little speaker (or maybe relay) is dying. Does anyone have any info if this can even be replaced/fixed?

 

[MilkDawg]

It is definitely choosing when to work and when not to work. I guess there is something that needs to be replaced. Anyone have ANY info?

I have a B8 (11 plate) and sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't. It's never been enough of an issue to get it fixed.

If that is the case - it's an instrument cluster out job and send it to ECU-testing or BBA-reman for repair.

If they can't repair it you'll have to get it replaced. I just paid £1400 for a new one (complete failure) - I don't think you can justify £1400 just so you can hear your indicator
