Noise under 1000k
« on: 01 April 2009, 19:39 »
Hello, i have a horrid noise under 1000's rev's when i'm pulling away, its fine when standing still and you rev it and when your above 1000k in gear. Just had the cam belt changed 300 miles ago, its a 1998 GTI 1.8 20V Turbo  :smiley: can anybody shed some light on this? Cheers Joe.
