Name that noise in 3 :)
I thought it was the cam follower but it's been changed and the noise it still there. It's had a full service and new cambelt etc and still there, any ideas at all please guys?
Car still drives as it should but it just sounds like a bloomin truck :)
-
did you inspect the cam when you were changing the followers? it soulds like the cam is worn
-
Sounds normal to me, heard they're quite noisy engines due to the injection....
-
What noise are you referring to, has the noise got worse or something ?, ?, its hard to tell from that video but it does sound pretty normal ?
-
It's more the knocking / ticking noise really that I'm trying to get rid of. My last Gti although noisy as hey all are didn't make that knocking type noise
-
It sounds like a normal 2.0TFSI, but the slightly louder.
What oil has been put in? I noticed a difference going from normal quantum to quantum longlife III, seems to be quieter.
-
I'll take another vid when it's louder, it seems louder after a run. It's currently got quantum platinum I think.
Didn't check the cam for wear but will ask my mate who did it and see what he thought. Don't fancy the cost of changing the cam tho, sounds expensive.

Mine makes the same noise but not quite as loud.
-
Sounds normal but you've got a cover missing from the intake pick up :wink:
-
Has anyone got one of those covers going spare?

Give Sanburn a try in Coventry, I'm sure they will be able to help. I was in there last week and I'm sure they were breaking a GTI then. :happy2:
-
Really what day? I was there after one on Tuesday last week and they had a mk5 with leather which they were breaking but it was a tdi I think.

Haha, it was Tuesday, the heavens had opened so I didn't pay much attention to it. There was 2 other lads waiting for the airbags off it!

not the same but i've got an A3 2.0T cover that i could be convinced to part with. with the exception of the removable panel on the top it's the same as the S3 and Golf R one
lemme know if you're interested. i was gonna keep it but as i say it's not doing me any good sat in my closet.

My car was very noisy on idle before I changed my pcv valve :happy2:
-
I'd be interested sub, does it replace the front triangle bit of the intake pipe and is it a direct swap out?
