noisy engine

[millermister]

Hi people,
            Just after a bit of advice if possible,havnt had my golf gti fsi 06 plate for long and it seems to have developed a rather strange tappety,diesel sound on idle,just wondered if anyone knows what this can be and more importantly anything serious, and how much would this cost if possible.The car still drives spot on, plenty of pull etc.Its only covered 21500 miles thats y im a bit puzzled.
                                      thanks
                                               steve

Hello and welcome Millermister,
I am pretty sure its the usual sound of the GTI engine an awful lot peeps post the very same thing on here.

Thanks for the reply,i just havnt heard another gti so hopefully youre right,i used to own a wr1 impreza with 350 hp and  that was just mega loud constantly,now with the golf its just so quiet every little sound i hear i think its buggered  :smiley.

Its just a characteristic of the engine mine has done 3000 and i have the taxi tone 
TT is on the line and if he spots this thread and reply's you will get, im sure a very comprehensive answer.
after which you head will make exactly the same sound as your engine.
