Hi Guys,
I know the gti has a loud engine anyway but for just over a week now I have noticed a loud ticking noise from the engine. It has always been there but has gotten much louder.
I have tried to google the issue and have found there is a common issue with the timing belt chain tensioner. I have had 2 mechanics listen to it and they have both told me it sounds like the tappets in the engine. is there any way I can determine what the issue is. I’m concerned it is an issue with the chain as this will shag the engine all together.
The noise is a constant Ticking sound and does not go away at all, even when it has warmed up. It also speeds up as you rev it. The car is a 09 GTi MK6 with 35000 on the clock.
Has anyone had similar issues, Any advice is welcome!!!!!
Thanks!
