Engine Noise???

[MarkFiveGTI]

I have had my Mk5 GTi 2005 for around 5 weeks. I have noticed most of the time and also when driving it hard that when the engine is idiling there is a clicking/ ticking noise coming from the front part of the engine block, i have checked the oil and it seems fine and plenty in. Just wondering is it worth going to the dealer to get a full check or is it a common or easily resolved problem?

In an ideal world i would like the engine to have a smooth and quiet tick over!

Also does any body know any good vw or golf gti specialists in the North West area ideally near Preston???

Cheers

Mark.

Do you have any ideas what it is making the noise, if they all do it i guess its nothing to worry about!!!

One of the few and far between totally FOC standard fit options VW installed! Only solution is to either:

a: Turn up the Stereo
b: Buy a TB Milltek
c: Buy an R32

....I believe it's something to do with the injectors on the 2.0T FSI engine.

....Hardly a BMW engine is it?

The only cure is a Milltek (or APR if you prefer) exhaust
