Waslo 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 A while ago i started up my vr and heard a loud thud that seemed to be sort of around my feet area. The car sounded fine and performed as normal for around 500 miles. Then, last night it happened again and this caused a loud tinny rattle from the engine bay that is worst at idle and disappears as the engine roar kicks in around 2000 revs. Then this morning there was a loud knock again and the noise got louder and then stopped. At no point did i notice much difference in the cars engine pull, it was maybe even a little smoother and quieter after the knocking noise. Any ideas could it be a pump or chains cos it sounded fine earlier on, plus I had it in for a lube service at VW less than a month ago and although they found many other faults, the engine was fine?Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm assuming around your feet whilst sat in drivers seat?Can you isolate where in the engine bay the rattle is coming from. I'm thinking it maybe an exhaust / downpipe related noise What other faults did they find? Link to post Share on other sites
Waslo 0 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yup downpipe was blowing but could be manifold related. Now somethings gone badly though, the rattle is continuous and the engine is like a 0.5l VR6 lol no power, 60mph top speed I could get on the way home when it went. Gonna have to wait for a long time now to fix it though I'm off to uni in a couple of days so she'll just be sitting gathering dust Link to post Share on other sites
