Being subject to repeated noise on your car tends to be disturbing, a car is so sophisticated that it is constantly difficult to find its origin and even more so to find the part that generates it. If you have already experienced a clicking noise on your Peugeot 106, we will probably be able to help you. In fact, our editorial staff decided to create this document in order to review the main causes of a clicking noise on Peugeot 106. This is why, firstly, we will see what are the origins of this type of noise coming from your engine block, then those of a noise coming from your direction and finally, the origins of clicking noise on Peugeot 106 coming from your suspensions.
I perceive a clicking noise on Peugeot 106 located on my engine
Verify your high engine
If you perceive a clicking noise on Peugeot 106, and this noise is based at the top of the engine, it means that it comes from your cylinder head and its accompanying parts. Two elements can be the causes of these ticking noises on Peugeot 106. Either the hydraulic pushers , in most cases it is because of their faulty “hydraulic catch-up” system that we will perceive these clicking noises, often when cold and vanish when hot. Otherwise, it is the interplay of your rocker arms or their state of wear that is at issue. In this case, remember to change them.
Verify your low engine
If you have founded the region of origin of the Peugeot 106 clikcing noises coming from your low engine, it may be that your rods or piston shafts are the causes. In both circumstances, the risk in the long term is the breakage of the motor. These two fixes are very complex and most mechanics will recommend you to replace the engine of your Peugeot 106.
Combustion problem
Finally, if you have the feeling that this clicking noise on Peugeot 106 is linked to the combustion of your engine, there are three possible reasons of it. Verify the state of your glow plugs which, if worn, can hinder the proper combustion of the fuel mixture. Then, it is possible that your timing belt is shifted and that it does not properly manage the timing of the various engine parts to promote good combustion. And finally, the most classic cause, comes from your injection, which is either blocked or one or more injectors are destroyed. In this case, do not hesitate to consult this document which deals in detail with the different injection sounds on Peugeot 106.
I perceive a clicking noise on Peugeot 106 in my direction
Verify the state of the gimbals
One of the most basic triggers of a clicking noises in the direction of your Peugeot 106 is linked to the direction of the car. Indeed, the cardans and their bellows are parts that are constantly stressed during your changes of direction or that you turn your wheels and a wear of one of them can make a ticking type of sound when you approach the stop zone of your steering. A bellows with holes will affect the cardan shaft very quickly and must be replaced in a short time, otherwise the entire cardan shaft will have to be replaced. Consider taking a look at it.

Verify the rest of your direction
Finally, when you find out a clicking noise on your Peugeot 106, it is possible that it is the direction that is involved. Just like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you turn your wheels. If this is the case, the parts that may have been damaged due to normal wear and tear or impact (e. g. sidewalks) are steering rods, stabilizer bar silentblocks or steering triangles.
I perceive a clicking noise on Peugeot 106 coming from my suspensions
Verify the suspension
If you encounter a clicking noise on your Peugeot 106 once you pass a speed bump, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the induce of the noise. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentbloc) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role and during small jolts that compress the suspensions. To verify if this is the trouble that worries you, take a dented road and, at low speed, listen to the noise originating from your front axle when ever you pass over holes. If these are the cups, consider changing them as soon as possible as this may damage other parts and require more expensive repairs.
Check spring and cylinder
If you notice a clicking noise on your Peugeot 106 at the suspension level, it is widely possible that spring wear or shock cylinder deformation may be a reason. To verify the state of the spring, position the car on a flat surface and measure that the heights from the ground to the bottom of the body are similar on each side (empty car for measurement). You can also verify between the front and rear, if there is a gap too large it denotes that most likely your springs are worn, if you observe a leak go a little further in the article to have the answer to this problem. For the cylinder the verification is visual, ensure that it seems to work in a straight axis. And that there is no angle that would alter its proper functioning. If one of them breaks in both situations, you should think about replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a squeaking noise on Peugeot 106 than a clicking noise, don’t hesitate to consult this article.
