rattling ticking engine sound

(1/3) > >>

lara:



hello,

i have owned my mkv gti since nov last year and it has always made a slight ticking, rattling noise. is this normal? also it sounds like a diesel when i first start it up although that soon quietens down apart from the ticking noise. the pic is of the thing that seems to be making the noise.... what is it? and do i need to change it?

any help would be greatly appreciated!   :happy2:

SteveP:
Have a look at the search function as this has been covered quite a bit recently  :happy2:

lara:
thanks for the heads up.... found few things that have put my mind at rest! would still like to know what that thing in the pic is though.... have been through engine pdfs and not seen it....

Nasir:
I think that's the fan belt, a picture of the entire engine would help in identifying.

Gene Hunt:
Mine was quiet on start up & then had the diesel rattle when up to temp.Turned out to be the small cam chain & tensioner (right hand side of engine).  :happy2:
