Loud clicking noise from engine

<< < (3/16) > >>

dazza:
My car ticks its actually louder then my diesel. Supposedly its just the injectors. I will try and post up a sound file it would be nice to know if the sound is normal or not.

john87:
My 2008 GTI was very much like my Mk6 R, not at all rattly. A bit louder than a non- direct injection engine, but not at all diesel-sounding. If your GTI's engine 'rattles' especially once warmed up, get your cam chain and tensioner replaced.

dazza:
Took some audio this morning.

Engine was cold.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yorkie92:
Yes, that's the bloody noise! So that is the cam chain and tensioner?
Would the garage I bought it from sort this under warranty do you think as it made the noise when I bought it?

Carl123:
I think it would be your word against there's mine makes exactly the same noise tho went to a mates garage the chain and tensioner would cost me roughly £160 then I would have to add labour onto that too...hopefully you won't have to pay out for it!!!
