Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          So I picked up the car this arvo and its all good......except

          When accelerating (even relatively mildly) the there is a kind of crackling noise coming from the engine. The sound is a bit like distortion you might get form a speaker. The smooth engine noise was there behind it but this noise comes in addition. It is present only when accelerating/applying power, it happens in all gears and at all rpms but only when accelerating. When coasting it goes away regardless of the rpm.
          I assume it might be turbo but I never heard it on any of the demo cars I test drove.
          Any suggestions?
          I'll be ringing the dealer in the morning anyway....
          I guess this post should probably be elsewhere too.
