Mk5 Engine Noise
« on: 12 February 2010, 22:31 »
I'm new to the site but I am looking for advice...............

I have a mk5 2005 GTi which has a loud engine ticking when the car engine gets warmer ??

The ticking seems to get louder the warmer the engine gets. It has recently been serviced with oilchange etc ???

Any pointers to the problem appreciated !!

Hi.They can be a bit noisey on tick over,direct injection or something BUT mine was the same & i wasn't happy with it & it turned out to be the small cam chain & tensioner that was knackered.Fine when cold but rattled like a diesel when warm.Mine is on the AXX engine code.

There have been a few of us on here who have had the chain replaced  :sad: seems to be the 05 AXX code now they are starting to do a few miles.  :smiley:

 just bought a 58 plate MK5 GTI & the engine certainly makes a strange noise compared to most other cars I've owned...keep thinking it's a diesel on startup !!

its not just the 05 AXX cars this is a very common issue with the TFSI across the range. ive had mine done at 20k when VW say it should be 60! these threads pop up often, here and pistonheads and audi forums

If so you need your cambelt replacing.
