Hi, It's a 2001 2.5tdi auto 120k miles. Just come back from trip, where the engine has developed a loud metallic rattle. Sounds a bit like a loud sewing machine but metallic. Only happens or is most noticed at low revs, moreso if under a bit of load and fully warmed up. Sounds normal when...

Hi everyone, I've recently bought my first T5 which I was hoping to convert into a camper to get out and about in. The van is a 2012 180 DSG 4Motion and is now at 69k miles. Each morning when I start the van, I can hear this noise, when the van is idling. Once the van is up to temperature I...

Hi, Got a 4 cylinder diesel AXC engine code (90% sure that is right. ) At each end of the injector rocker shafts is a small drilling. Three of these are sealed but one has oil peeing out of it. Lots. It is the right hand , rear of engine, hole that the oil is pouring out of and I can't see...

Any help into why my 2.5 td is making quite loud tapping noise from the top of the engine. Its very noticeable when slowing down or on approach to junctions when the vehicle is slowing down. Its worse when cold. Also the engine pressure light comes on now and again and it has a bit of a oil drip...

I am almost certain it is the followers but want a second oppinion. it taps in time with the revs and does it all the time. it is worst when cold where the tapping...

Hi, Does anyone know what would cause a rattling sound from under the cab area? It rattles on idle then on a very low rev it taps and on higher revs its gone completely. Was thinking it had something to do with exhaust but im not too sure. Its a 98 1.9TD. Thanks
