Listen to it running. If it taps like a sewing machine, then it needs the head off to sort a bent valve. Listen also for any knocking sounds.________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye .... On going OEM spec restoChina Blue GTi6 .... Weekend toy Black 208 GTi ....

This is pretty standard nowadays but is more of a less obvious ticking noise. 170k is not too much on a maintained gti6. Mine has 160k and runs better than engines with much less mileage and still produces 163 out its standard 167bhp.Listen to it running.

Was tapping like a sewing machine and kept stalling. Not going for that one. Looked too shiny round the exhaust too. Axle looked ok I think, but I'm not sure how a bad one looks. Thanks again guys________________________________________ Platinum gti 6 now the daily driver...1 problem so far...fuel economy! |

If it was a loud rap then that was probably a bad one and walking away was the correct thing to do. Where's Horley? If it nearish kent I could meet up and you can view mine which is basically spot on. All Bar a noisey lifter at start up. So could point you in the right direction and explain the different noises that are okay and not okay.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Beats China IMO It's an odd one for me, I think it works on a phase three but on a phase two I'm just thinking D-Turbo  Horses for courses though, Blaze and Moonstone are my favourite colours on a 6 so in possibly a bad barometer  ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13 Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |
