tapping

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...

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

Evening all. Right, I've don e as much reading as I can on the subject on here, and I've only found one thread similar. Only had my van - 2001 2.5TDI 88bhp for about a month, so I'm just getting to grips with things at the moment, and sorting out the usual stuff like mot etc. before I get on...
