Gday all,
My wife and I have recently purchased a 2006 Multivan Comfortline. We got it for a great price as it needs some work to get it back on the road. Well I hope we got it for a great price anyway. Time will tell. Most of the issues are cosmetic or door and sunroof related which we are working through. But the one issue I’m not sure about is the engine is a bit noisey. It is overdue for a service and has been sitting, not driven for a few months, but I checked the books and it has been pretty well serviced it’s whole life and it drives really great. Plenty of punch and everything feels very solid. I’m just not sure what the noise is. It’s not horrible, it’s not a knocking noise or whining noise. It’s not a really bad tapping noise or anything like that. It’s just noisey. Lol I haven’t driven it that much as it’s not registered or roadworthy at the moment but I did notice it’s more noticeable on idle and low revs.
I know it’s hard to be an internet mechanic and determine issues from words and videos but I was just wondering if anyone has had the same issue or know of the common issues. I’ve done some reading and research but I’m not sure. I can post the video if anyone would like. It’s not the greatest but might give some idea. I’m just trying to get my head around what it may be and what sort of costs may be involved before I head to the mechanic. I’m hoping it will just be a big service and changing oils and lubes as to me that’s all it sounds like but fingers crossed it’s nothing major with the costs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m a huge fan of the VW’s and the van already. I own a pretty tough looking Amarok 😏 And the van will be converted into a camper 😁
