Rattle on 2008 BWA engines
« on: July 02, 2014, 01:13:09 am »
Hi, we have a rattle coming from the engine of our 2008 GTi. When I bought the car I thought that the later GTIs did not suffer from this, so I just want to clarify does the BWA also suffer from the timing chain noise then? What else could the noise possibly be before I pay for an inspection  :indifferent:

Thanks.

Where is the noise coming from ? Does it sound like a loose object rattle or more of a ticking noise ?

Hi mate more of a ticking noise when idle. It also makes a fart type sound when you switch the engine off.
