as anyone had this problem b4? when i start my tt i have a noise coming from the n/s front of the engine behind the wheel low down. i am not sure if its a knocking noise from the bottom end and if i rev the engine somtimes the noise stops. i have not had the car long and i know it needs a bloody good oil change as it is really dirty. also it sounds a bit taperty on the left side of the engine. the car runs mint apart from what i hav already said, any ideas??????????????:rockon:

Possibly you may have more than one noise source, firstly I would look at the air con compressor, there is a small pulley adjuster, this pulley bearing can get noisy as can the air con compressor try taking the belt off and running the engine.

 

The lifters can sometimes be noisy, try adding a lifter additive into the engine oil, such as "Wynns Lifter treatment" can work wonders.

Do you also use, wynn's "start ya B*******D?" lol :blush:

sorry to hijack this thread, but the fluid has made a hell of a difference, but occaisionally she will still tap a little (no where near like what she used to though :-)) would you reccomend another dose? and if so, in the same oil or drop it? cheers jeff

HAAAAAAA weve got start ya bast*rd in work for the tractors lol :-)

thanks for all ur replies i think i will change the crappy oil and put some of that lifter treatment in too. If the bottom end was staring to go would it knock all the time????????
