There is a repeating click on/click off sound coming from the engine. You can really hear it at the left front tire. Two distinct click sounds, maybe 10 seconds apart. Seems to happen when it’s warmer out. Any thoughts? I have it on video but not sure I can upload here.

Did you find out what it was?
Not yet. I haven’t heard it since it was pretty warm out. I’ll update when they tell me at the dealership
Was it when the car was off?
these new cars open and close different valves and various items right after shut off and usually last about 30 mins ofclicking sounds and tapping . I know for sure the brake system also makes noises after shut off.

Was parked and running. New car, so I was setting up stuff that needed to have the car on.
So with more testing. It’s when the car is on, parked and the ac is on.

Sounds like the compressor cycling which was mentioned above.

Seeing this post I decided to check mine out. 2023 TBRS 1,000 miles.

Yes I can definitely hear the A/C clutch cycling, clicking on and off. I know from experience this is normal. I hope this helps
