Metallic sound on acceleration
« on: Today at 16:43 »
Hi guys,

First post so sorry it’s straight to asking for help.  :grin:

I have a 2016GTI PP with 72k miles.

I’ve noticed over the last few weeks a sort of metallic sound at the front of the car when I accelerate at anything more than a potter.

Doesn’t happen when you rev the car at idle so only happens when there is load on the engine. I was worried it was my compressor wheel touching the housing but I’ve checked the turbo and it all appears to be fine.

The car runs and drives fine but my warranty ends in August so if it’s something on its way out I’d rather get it sorted now while it’s free  :grin:

I’ve done a short video which you can just about hear it and any help would be very much appreciated.
