Hey guys, thinking I've just experienced this issue. Just wanted to get ya'lls thoughts.
2009 MkV TSI with 83xxx on the clock, GIAC stg 2.
The other day I was driving and popped what I'm fairly certain was my turbo outlet pipe, as I've had that one come undone before. The car ran fine, other than the obvious lack of power. I had to drive the car a pretty good distance like this, just doing my best to avoid spooling the turbo.
Everything was fine until I pulled into my driveway and came to a stop. As my rpms fell down to idle, it dropped far too low, like 4-500, and then I started getting a lot of valve noise(CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK). Shut the motor off and came back out to scan for codes, the motor then started up and idled at the correct rpm, but the noise was still there and quite loud.
The only codes I got were the P2015 I already knew about, a P0420 from my exhaust, a couple misfire codes from over 1000kms ago, a P0101 MAF implausible signal, and a P0299 from my boost leak.
Now today I went back out, checked my oil level, which was a slight bit low. So I added a bit of oil and tried starting the car again. This time it started, ran for about 3 seconds and died, still with the same loud clacking noise. Scanned again for codes, and now it's only showing the P2015. :iono:
This is the first time I've ever had any major problem with this car. I've kept up well with 5k oil changes and such, only having to replace a couple sets of coils.
I've read through a few different Tensioner threads now that this has happened and it's just giving me that horrible "your motor just ate itself" vibe. :yikes:
TIA for any and all insight ya'll could provide.
