Hi, I'm kind of new here some just need some support to start myself up.
I am looking to buy a GOLF GTI 1.8 TURBO, 20V, 2002 (52 Plate) however I went to view it and there was a strange noise upon start-up, when the car was cold. To me it sounded like it wasn't the engine, or turbo and was neither the timing belt however it sounded as if it was coming from between the gap between the engine and the timing belt, or from underneath the engine, it was a bit strange, but only lasted no more then 15 seconds and then went. If you asked me to describe it, I can't really describe the sound which I know doesn't help at all, but was just wondering whether it was a common problem.
If anyone could help and get back to me ASAP, I would appreciate it. Thanks Ben

noisy starter motor maybe which is common problem
-
how about secondary air pump? expensive to fix?

Nope they tend to be noisy for the first 30secs (they switch off then), mine is and I just live with it.
-
You can get a forge blank for £20 and remove it :wink:
-
That's what I am assuming the noise is, just a bit sceptical on the noise because Turbo's are generally quiet. Haven't bought it yet, but if it doesn't cost too much, may just gamble and see what happens.
Cheers lads.
-
is it worth a gamble if there is plenty of other cars out there :smiley:

Well I want a specific specification etc... and just being really picky. However what I want rarely comes about and if it does, it goes instantly.
Unless you know someone selling a GOLF GTI Turbo (20V), Black, 3 Door, No mahogany interior, or Red or Blue Seats?
Now tell me I'm not picky.
-
mahogany is eaiseally changed.... and the grey seats are defo the better of red and blue.. :sick:

same here.

secondary air pump can be repaired or removed,i've removed mine and all hoses and stuff that go with it,or you can remove pump drill out old aluminium rivet things and replace with screws and then put it back on
-
@Jockgti. Just wondering whether either are expensive or hard to fix?
Regards.
-
i did both and i'm useless at working on cars so no,and to remove the pump costs 20 quid for a blanking plate or to remove and fix costs the price of 8 or 10 screws and bolts,fiver at most,if you remove the pump it does throw up an error code for improper flow which you can ignore or get mapped out
-
If your completely useless with cars just pull the connector out the pump :grin:
You'll eventually want it mapped so they can map the code out then :wink:
