Title: Am i just being silly?
Post by: jeremy20jeremy on 07 January 2008, 15:59

Got the Ed30 from Motorhouse in Cannock, all is going well, thanks for the previous advice chaps. Car is brilliant, love it, however is it just me or when the car is at idle and you are outside listening to it running you can hear an almost tinny sound or the pistons clunking. When in the car the sound is brilliant, proper exhaust note. When I rev the sound goes as well

Any ideas or should I be taking it downto a dealer asap?

Cheers :sad:

Don't worry about it. It is a "characteristic of the engine".

Indeed it is a characteristic... mind you there are degrees of how noisey it is... I had the engine in my 05 GTi replaced under warranty as it was excessively noisy... thread here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=62751.30 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=62751.30) - it is still a bit tappety now... but nowhere near as bad.
