Tappet/Rattle Noise

<< < (2/3) > >>

pudding:
A 12 plate is a chain driven engine.  No cam belt.  It's also way past the iffy tensioner problems of the 2009/10 engines, but it could still be chain rattle.

It's hard to be specific without seeing the car but if the rattle disappears quite quickly, it's probably nothing to worry about.   

High pressure fuel pumps are a common failure on the EA888 engine but as you need to top up the oil regularly, I think you can out-rule that.

I think you need to get the garage to verify you don't have chain stretch/tensioner wear which can be done with VCDS and other scan tools.

You sure about the chain mate? My service book has toothed belt change @52k miles
It’s an edition 35 I’ve got if that makes any difference on your thinking?
Wasn’t aware that I had a high pressure fuel pump (clueless really on the car apart from driving it  :signLOL:)
Will look into getting it plugged into VCDS tho  :happy2:

@Eighteen88  be careful the
Mk6 GTI has the newer engine EA888
Mk6 GTI Edition 35 has the older EA113 engine (as found in similar guise in Edition 30 mk5 , s3 etc)

As an edition 35 it has the older engine which has a different set of 'issues' compared to 'normal' mk6 gti which changes @Pudding  responses above.

have a look on youtube for tensioner rattle on edition 30 (or mk5)  for examples, how many miles on your car?   normal to start rattling at 50k miles onwards and need changing at 100k
but not to be confused with the 'tensioner' problem that 'normal' mk6 faces which is a totally different issue

Many thanks for the response,  the car has done 76k so going by what you say this should be expected?? Is this something I should be concerned about? What needs done to “fix” the issue??

Got the car plugged into vcds today and no issue was found.
