Hi All,
Just treated myself to a 2003 Mk4 GT TDI 150 (PD) with 76k on the clock and in near mint condition.
Absolutely love driving it. Feels so solid and it's good n powerful!
I've joined the forum to gain as much knowledge as I can about the common ailments that affect the 150 PD, in particular the so called 'Chocolate CAM', which I hear is a major one to look out for.
I have noticed that there is a rattle at tick-over (950rpm), which sounds to me like a heat shield because as soon as you pick the revs up by 50rpm the noise stops. Advice on this would be good because I don't want to fall foul of the dreaded CAM issue.
Thanks in advance to all you fine folks willing to muck in a spread your good advice to the likes of me!
Cheers
