Dima 1 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Whenever I turn my golf on I hear this ballbearing noise coming from the engine. I had a look and it seems that its coming from just underneath where inginition leads come out. It sounds as if there is no lubrication if you know what I mean. Im not sure what it is as my oil has been topped up.Please help P.S. its a VR6 obd2 Link to post Share on other sites
SW VR6 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Water pump about to give up? Mine sounded like a washine machine with a load of ballbearings in it just before it went. And what a bang it made when it gave up all together en route to the garage - the impellar shattered and ended up in pieces in the coolant system! Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Is the auxillary water pump not a small elecric motor one ?I don't think they are ever noisy.... ?Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
Dima 1 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It doesnt make noise when switched off no. Sounds pretty bad...I best get it down the garage 2moro. Any ideas how much those things roughly are? Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 It could be bloody anything. If it is coming from inside the block, i wouldn't even drive it, as the bill could be made a lot bigger. good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Sounds like avery wierd position.....From where I think you mean there is nothing really there....When you say under where the ignition leads vome out you are talking about your cap right ? There is not alot in that area that would sound like a bag of marbles.Without hearing and looking it's very hard with things like this. :-(Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There is not alot in that area that would sound like a bag of marbles.Only his chains!But I agree this sounds like the aux water pump on the way out.TG Link to post Share on other sites
