could be the water pump does your electric fans work?

If the 'clicking' sound changes with engine speed you need to check your oil, and pay attention to your temperature guage-it might be a lifter making noise and an oil change would possibly help. If it is a steady clicking noise, it might be a loud fuel injector, possible but not likely.

well typically is there is a noise when making a turn its caused by a bad cv-joint but if your having problems with the 4 wheel drive i would look at the linkage to the transfer case and make sure there is not to much play or bent or broke rods and stuff.

Possible HVAC blend door motor skipping over the gear drive due to a jammed blend door. Also it could be valve train noise in the engine, I would need to hear it really.

Sounds like a vacuume leak, use some carb cleaner in a spray can and gently spray the engine. When you find the leak the engine will stumble, check in that area for the leak.

check that the air filter is seated correcty in it housing, check for leaks or cracks on ducting fasteners and clamps

Is it a metal shaft? When you put it in drive does it make any noise? Does the speedometer move? Does it make a loud clicking sound when you put it back in Park?

this sounds as if your drive shaft has failed, take to your nearest mechanic and have him verify this this should only cost about 200 euros to repair if it is the drivshaft.
