The ticking noise at idle is the fuel purge valve.

My rattle was passenger seat belt clip

My passenger seat belt was not threaded through its guide.

After I threaded the passenger seat belt through its guide, I developed a rattle.

It turns out is was the passenger seat belt clip banging against the pillar. I took the passenger seat belt out of its guide and my rattle was gone.

Hope it is that simple for the rest of you.

I have the same, as discussed in reply 3, the second point 3, near the bottom of the reply, of the thread at:

At first I thought it may be normal, but since many others don't seem to describe, what we are describing, it may need to be checked out by the dealer service.
