    Never seen one either , only just started seeing them on the 20v engines on the B6. US regulations are heaps tighter emission wise.

    Ok yep.

    Seems I mistook the PCV valve/heater element (on my VR) with an EGR valve.

    My bad

    Read about EGR for the Mk3 in the Bentley manual - guessing the American cars had them due to their tighter emissions regs.

    Just been having a look at this old thread. Wondering if the problem has been fixed. I have the same symptoms and I'm pretty sure its a lifter, on cylinder 1 to be exact, but I get the rattle all the time. I know its defiantly not the exhaust. To the guy who said by removing the center exhaust it fixed it.... I doubt it fixed it, i'd say your car is just louder so you can't actually hear the rattle anymore.

    Its not the fuel pump relay is it? Sometimes it can sound like a tinging when its clicking in the fuse/relay cavity behind the dash

    I know this is a old thread but I had a similar issue with my 96 Vento.
    I had a strange rattling which I thought was bad pinging or the exhaust cover. It turning out to be a cable linkage that was attached to the throttle body from an aftermarket cruise control that I had disabled previously.
    I secured the cable away from the throttle body and now I don't have any rattling while accelerating between 1500-2000rpm.
