Crickets are a function of this high pressure direct injection pump period. Who knows what the exact cause is. Could be the check valve making the noise, be cavitation, could be the clearances allowing some blowby, there could actually BE a cricket in there. They all seem to do it, it is not detrimental to the function of the car.
