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,

  • Strange knocking noise

    Hi
    im new, please go easy on me!
    im trying to figure out what the knocking noise in my 07 tdi 1.9 golf is at the moment, so much so that I am not sleeping and instead up right now searching YouTube videos to find the issue and solution.

    on starting the car, which is a tdi, all runs well, but there is a certain point at which a strange intermittent knocking sounds occurs. This only happens (as far as I can tell) when the car is in park and idling. It’s a real strange sound.... doesn’t seemingly increase in speed when you rev the engine, and I believe non existant whilst driving.

    YouTube

    ive posted a video on YouTube of the noise so you can see what I mean
    I’m really a paranoid about this and am not sure what to do
    Any help would be just grand!

      Hi no it’s never been done! An old man had the car since new and that was something I don’t think was ever done, maybe was but may need it again.

      it has done 97,000 kms.

        I’ve noticed it only happens in park or neutral, so when idling. It certainly is a much more pronounced knocking sound.
