    LOL that almost looks like a metal clothes peg or folder clip. I'd almost try it myself if it were possible to get at that end of the actuator. I could try a clothes peg on the shaft just to see if...

    Hi,

    I know you guys are probably as sick of my noise posts as I am but, but unfortunately I have yet another question. I had just turned off the freeway late last night (after about 25 minutes at...

    There is a very easy way for me to reproduce it 100% of the time without fail in my car:

    1. Drive the car from cold for around 20 minutes so it is thoroughly warmed up. This is critical, because...

    A final update: got the car back this morning. They did not do anything to it apart from the aforementioned oil filter and an ECU update this morning. So far as the ECU update was concerned, the...

    Just got back from the VW dealer and I feel a bit better than I did before. I saw the foreman and he was actually quite amiable and knowledgeable, but most importantly he obviously does not have any...

    So the dealer rings me this morning. Car is fine. There is nothing wrong with it :facepalm: So obviously they must have thought the metal on metal broken bearing sound coming from the engine bay with...

    That is why I am prepared for the "normal for the model" line from the dealer :facepalm: I don't think they will be interested to know that it never made these noises before. I even remember the car...

    That is incredibly impressive fuel economy. The new 90TSI engine must surely be more fuel efficient than the 77TSI per kw of power produced. I am very fuel economy conscious when I drive and about...

    Cold starts - secondary air injector pump?

    Does the 77STI model have one of these pumps? I recently posted about noises I was hearing when my engine was warm but in diagnosing those problems I also came across a strange noise on cold startup...

    I've made a sound recording of the noise. Here I am gently opening and closing the throttle. You will hear the sound get louder as the throttle opens and it get softer when I close the throttle.

    So you know if they sell it in decent sized containers these days? Last time I checked they only sold it in very small bottles - smaller than a deodorant container.
