ED30 making a wurling noise when cold?

[Steve30]

My car is making funny noise when its cold comming from the left hanside of the engine. Once its warm it goes away and no problems driving wise? Any support guys? Thanks steve

Do you mean the left hand side of the engine looking at the car from the front on?

I had the chirping noise coming from the cambelt "area" of the engine. It only did it when cold and went away when the engine was warm.

VW had the car and said it could either be the cambelt tensioner or water pump. They changed the water pump, tensioner and cam belt  all under warrenty and the car has been fine since.

Yes thats sounds about right, The car has only done 11,000 on a 58 plate. Is it a big job? I have ordred a MK6 gti and should get by march build week 9.

The question is shall I leave until then or is it urgent and needs to be seen ASAP? The dealer will be PX for new MK6 . What will happen if its not sorted? Thanks Steve

All the work was done in a day. But the dealer had to order the parts in.

I couldn't tell you if its an urgent job though and I don't know if there are any long term effects if the job is not done. But it sound soo much better now that the work has been done..

Just got back from the dealers, and they said its hose that needs replacing rubbing on the fan?? Car is booked in for next week ? Lets just see what comes out it when its replaced?  TBH I didnt belive them but what can you do thanks Steve

^^^^ Cam belt tensioner is the problem.

Pipe rubbing is a loud of twoddle and they need to work on their Diagnosis better

New Cam belt required aswell. Half day job under warranty.

Several People have had this, couple of been fed with bad diagnosis and then finally admit that cam belt tensioner is the problem.

If they just move your Pipe, you will be back the next cold start with same issue.
