Hi there. I am a newbie and have recently taken delivery of a 2011 140 GT, DSG in Candy White. SO far I love it...
Over the last 3 weeks though, at low engine revs between say 1100 and 1400, the engine sounds like it is 'pinking', almost like the engine speed is too low for the gear it is in. Its been back to VW twice now, who tell me its the norm. Its been hooked up on the diagnostics, and they say all is ok with the engine, and gearbox.
A mate has a golf with the same engine and gearbox, and his doesn't do it - any ideas anyone ? I have read the posts about rattles on here, and checked the areas prone to rattling, but everything seems to be tight under the bonnet....
