Knocking / Diesel sound on tick over.
« on: May 08, 2012, 07:40:54 pm »
Hi,

Ive recently purchased an 06 GTI. I noticed that once the engine had warmed up there is a knocking diesel like sound. It sounded like it was coming from the timing belt side. My local mechanic had a look and said the timing belt is new and the tensioners look new. Is there anything else i can look into to get a smoother idle or as ive seen on numerous posts that its just the FSI style?

Cheers.

Dave
