Title: Wierd Cold start noise
Post by: Wijesunde on September 19, 2017, 09:11:15 am

Hello everyone

My gti started doin this wierd noise on cold startup.
 only 10 - 15 sec after start then its the normal tfsi noise
Cambelt kit changed 6000km ago
Camfallower and dumpvalve changed 1500km ago by me
I did a oil n filter change recently noise still there then yesterday i removed
The starter motor and cleaned inside and applied some grease to every bearings.
After fitting backin i started the engine n was happy wierd noise was gone.
But next day morning noise still there
Could it be a faulty startmotor?
