strange noise?
« on: 26 December 2006, 18:08 »
whilst driving today at a slow speed i noticed a quiet pulsating noise coming from the engine bay, near the dash. Anyone got any ideas? or is it just a vw thing?  cheers.

what happens when you open the bonnet, do you hear it then?  I have noticed a continuous metalic tapping noise, see my older thread...

i wouldn't say it was tappity sounding, more like a droning sound, i'm thinking stereo or wiper motor?  i'm listening for it all the time when i'm driving.

my stealer said it was normal and I made him start up another GTI so I could compare.  :smiley:
