Scirocco Central

Thanks all , the tensioner pulley was at fault. I have now changed it and all is well.

Thanks shshivji I will have a look at the pulley . `is the torn bolt on the back of the pulley?

I think i might have found the culprit .The noise seems to be coming from the aux belt tensioner. Can anybody tell me how to remove the tensioner. I have the belt off but can't see how it is attached.

Can Anybody tell me where on the engine the water pump is located?

Thanks Shak I will take it in on Monday and see what they say.

I have uploaded a video hopefully that should help

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I will try and get a video on youtube tomorrow which should help. The noise happens over 1800rpm while driving and in neutral at stand still.

Hi Bill , I don't think its the same noise as this is quite loud and can be heard even when driving. I thought it might be a bearing in the alternator or A/C compressor perhaps

Hi all , just picked up a 2010 2.0 tsi gt and its fantastic , However it has an annoying whine that increases with the revs. It seems to be from the drivers side engine bay area.
Any help would be helpful.

thanks in advance
