Title: Ticking from engine changes with brake pedal
Post by: AlexRennieGti on June 28, 2019, 10:35:36 pm

Hey guys as title says my gti has a tick from the engine but the sound gets quieter when brake pedal is pressed in. Not sure what could be causing this. Possibly a vacuum problem ?

Thanks

If there is a hissing sound from the pedals that stops when you press the brake, the vacuum servo is leaking.  It won't be the cause of ticking/tapping though.
