Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!

Does it make the same noise if you rock the engine backwards and forwards?
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!

Nope doesn't seem to do it however hard I rock the engine back and forth!?
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on July 20, 2014, 08:01:05 pm
To me it's more like some thing to do with the suction / 'vacuum' being released when coming off the throttle?

Yeah sort of but it's when it drops to 1k rpm
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 20, 2014, 08:36:06 pm
Does it do it with the standard airbox on? 

Not that I can remember to be honest!
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 07:31:38 am
Any ideas anyone? And do you think that it's a bad thing or something to worry about?

 :scared:
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 09:30:30 am
There's nothing in the intake pipe I've already checked etc, it did it with the old revo kit on too, it also does it if I dip the clutch when driving but it's not as noticeable, due to all other noise etc! Checking the dv tonight and pcv! Haven't and can't check for error codes unless I pay a garage
Which I didn't really want to do!

Since fitting these intakes I've had the car cutting out which thankfully doesn't happen now. And now this! Puts me off modding the golf if I'm honest  :sad1:
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: rich83 on July 21, 2014, 09:34:57 am
You need to refit the OEM air box and try it again.
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 09:49:47 am
What shall I do if it doesn't do it with the standard kit fitted? Hmmm :/
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on July 21, 2014, 09:53:08 am
Did you fit the intake yourself? Is the pipe that connects to the turbo on properly? It can be tricky to get it seated and get the fastener in the correct place.  Not properly fitted could be the reason behind your cutting out

Yeah it was cutting out at first then I fitted the turbo pipe properly and no cutting out! Iirc the car doesn't make this noise with the standard air box on!

Stupid question. What happens if you do it with the engine off but ignition on? Pressing and releasing the accelerator?

Il try that when I'm home from work Rich as well as checking the dv and pcv etc!

Thanks for all the help and everything too guys il report back this afternoon with results of checking and trying different things!

Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 02:05:52 pm
Yeah the battery has been disconnected for about 30 minutes approx during the install of the kit so maybe it's that but il try the various things and get back to you guys later this afternoon!

Thanks again!

The "putting" noise sounds like the checkvalve in the rear PVC breather pipe to me.

Do you have a PVC revamp / catch can fitted?
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 02:42:15 pm
Nope I haven't got either fitted the car is completely standard apart from the revo kit!
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 21, 2014, 08:17:02 pm
Right then guys, Rich when the ignition is on but not engine when I press the throttle I get a click then once I release the throttle I get another click is that normal? And I checked the dv seems to be fine as does the pcv but I'm going to get it on a diagnostic machine for the sake of £50 and that will be piece of mind, oh and I tried it with the engine cold and it still does it then too, just thought id rule that out!
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 23, 2014, 09:31:10 am
Anyone know if those clicks are normal?
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: rich83 on July 23, 2014, 09:56:25 am

The clicking will be the throttle body.

So do you think the loud donk is the throttle body also?

Hard to say, but I don't think so. Can't you locate the noise?
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
Post by: edition30jmr on July 23, 2014, 10:21:55 am
I'm going to take the engine cover off tonight and have a good look and listen and try to feel in different places to see if when it makes the clonk if it vibrates or anything anywhere! I'm thinking of buying a VCDS cable so I've got one for future use!

Just asking but did you install the nylon washer on the bolt that secures the intake to the engine?

Post by: edition30jmr on July 23, 2014, 07:55:08 pm

Yes and does it need any washers inbetween any of that? I used a washer the other side of the metal part (closest to engine) and another washer against the intake pipe after the plastic/nylon washer.

Thanks

As I said before.  Its the diverter valve.  Get a new 'G' on there and it will stop.  Had the same thing on a few cars now.

Doesn't cause any issues as it is anyway.

My S3 has always done this and its only noticeable when an intakes fitted.
I've already replaced the dv with a rev G and replaced the pcv but its still there.
On the Audi forum theres a few people mentioned it.
The noise comes through the intake and its not dependant on which intakes fitted.
Doesn't cause any problems and I only ever notice it when putting the car in the garage.
Title: Re: Revo Ceramic Intake - clonk noise!
