    Engine Noise

    All silly questions and answers aside.

    I have a Used Facelift 2010 Octavia Rs 147TSI (49,000km). I have noticed since owning it there is a noise coming from the front section of the engine that getting louder. Even when I'm cruising you can hear a faint noise.
    Would this be linked with the timing belt or even the fans??

    Thanks in advanced 😀

    If its a 2010, it will have the tsi motor (not tfsi), so cam chain. They have a known issue with the tensioner. Get it checked out by an independent service specialist.

      Ethan is it a ticking noise? And the ticking gets faster if you rev the engine a bit? If so its just the fuel injectors which are quite loud on these engines.

      We can meet up quickly over the weekend if you want me to have a listen.

            The engine has a timing chain, not a belt

            You only heard the injectors from outside or when looking under the bonnet
            You can't hear the injectors from inside the cabin

              Injectors make a ticking noise, sounds different to can chain noise. YouTube vw 2l tsi cam chain noise and injector noise and see which one is closest to your noise

                i'm referring specifically to the injectors - the ticking noise that can only be heard from the outside/under-bonnet.
                can't hear it from inside.

                  Cheers Guys!
                  Had a look at some YouTube videos and there was one with a White GTI that started up and sounded similar to mine. (My car being way superior to any golf &#128540

                  So I'm starting to relax a bit knowing that's it's not only car that make this noise. Is there a way to make it quieter? Or it is what it is??

                  Plus there is a rasp-ish noise with the turbo under moderate acceleration. Have I not waited long enough for the car to warm up or is this a different area, if so can it be resolved?

                    ^ that rasp is more than likely the wastegate on the turbo rattling. You can get a metal clip which reduces the sound by about 90%. I have one on our GTI.
