ED30
« on: January 26, 2011, 08:30:08 am »
Hi all.

Looking for some help please? 

At the mo im looking around for a ed 30 and looked at a few now.  Had look at one last night which i really want, but when i had it running there was a funny ticking noise that ive not heard on any others.

Does any one have any ideas?

faulty cam belt tensioner's are common on the tfsi engine, especially from cold.  The noise could be the cam belt slapping about whilst cold.  I had mine changed under warranty, there is quite a lot of info on here if you do a search.  Its worth asking if it has been replaced, its a costly job to have done as the scope of work is the same as having a belt changed.  Obviously if ignored a broken belt will cost a lot more.

If its not the tensioner sticking, and the car oil level is correct (and the right grade) then relax, the TFSI does sound like a diesel on tick over   :confused:
