Weird 2.0 TSI engine noise

Post by daves2369 »

Hi Guys any idea what this noise could be?

Noticed it today.

Doesn't do it on idle starts at about 1.5k revs,

It's the little knocking kind of noise

Difficult to identify from 'normal' engine sounds. Does the noise disappear when the clutch is depressed?

It seems to be a bit intermittent, only seems to do it while parked up revving up-to 1.5k any slower no noise, any faster disappears into normal engine noise.

These engines are so tickety, its hard to hear over them!

I have a feeling it might be some sort of bearing.

Seems to be coming from, front driver side of the engine bay:

I might change the drive-belt and water-pump cars coming upto 80k and neither have been changed see if its either of them.

Could be the dreaded fuelline rattle. It does run a bit high. 1200rpm idleing with a warmed up engine is high. Mine sits at around 1000rpm after a cold start and settles in at 800rpm after warmup.
