Title: GOLF MK4 1.9 TDI (AGR) Engine is noisy from cold start up
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 28 December 2012, 15:08
As above, When engine is stone cold, the engine makes a tick,tick,tick noise for the first 10 -15 seconds, then it gets quiet. Is this normal??

Cheers  :cool:

Secondary Air Intake, its used to warm up the CAT on cold starts, again its just a guess, as i dont know if 1.9TDI's have them.

check your oil level maybe low or want a oil and filter change. i reckon its something to do with the tappets being dry for a bit but once the oils flowing they take up the adjustment
so new oil and filter, if no joy renew the tappets
