So I got in my wastegate clip, fitted it and the rattle is still there. I can hear it maybe...slightly less... but that might be a combo of wind and other outside interference making me tune it out more. Gonna see if I can get the dealer to check it out, as it almost sounds like the cams are rattling or something to that effect. Does the cam positioning sensor trigger a MIL if that goes bad? I literally have like maybe 2-3 months left on my powertrain warranty, so I really want to find a solution to this issue.
A friend suggested that it sounded like my MKV when the HPFP destroyed the cam follower, and the cam lobe, HPFP and everything in between had to be rebuilt. I almost want to change my oil to look for metal chunks.
Weird thing is there's no noticeable loss in power...
