Title: Crankshaft play?
Post by: niclas-hm on May 03, 2018, 09:06:11 am

Hello.
For some time now, my golf 5 gti making som strange knocking sound from the engine. i tried some diffrent things. first i thought mabye it was the oil pump, but yesterday, i took it down and it's looking fine. i then control the crankshaft, and saw there was a little play in it.
My question is then, how much is allowed? and tap knocking sound you can hear in the video, is that normally?
Thanks :)

Impossible to see the play as the video is too wobbly. Play should be small. 0.5mm or less.
