I'll report on Wednesday evening if the replacement of my evap solenoid has resolved the symptoms I had...not ticking or noise related though, occasional flatspot or lack of power.

do you get this drop of power with the esp turned off still???

nope esp was on, didnt try it on or off...are you thinking it was the esp kicking in?

driving conditions were dry and it was noticeable just after a corner, almost like the revs took a big dip.  It didnt matter if I was in D or S.  Also on occasion when accelerating, felt a hesitancy in the boost. 

Anyway, its going in tomorrow to get whatever solenoid it is replaced.  Hopefully they will accept my white worm claim on the tailgate handle.  My dealer seems really stingy and reluctant to do anything warranty related, they must have got a right roasting in the past, or had their fingers severely burnt for work that was not covered under warranty.

try it with it off, sounds the same as mine.mines in any gear setting, enough to almost headbutt steering wheel when it does it.

esp off, and its fine.

Guys ! I found where it tick now. Here is the picture with the red circle. That is where it tick, can anyone tell me what is that ?
And is that bad ? when it tick, i touch it, and it sort of moved while it tick.
Here it is:

That is a valve for the crankcase ventilation, which goes into the intake manifold.  I can't say I've noticed it being noisy, but then I've never run the motor with the cover off!

A scan at the stealer should show up any fault codes though.

Hmmmm - do you have four matching boots on yours?

I have to say, I really don't think that the Teves ESP system fitted to the Golf is as "refined" as either the Bosch 8.0 on my RS, nor the older Bosch 5.7 on my 2003 S4.  Dunno why VW penny pinch with cheaper spec'd products on their cars, when Audi can use better quality stuff!

Ok ... EVAP solenoid thingy replaced.  I have to say I do notice that the revs are much smoother and the apparent "flat spot" is no longer there, fingers crossed.
