Miss-Vw 2 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 ...or tappets whatever you wanna call them! Mine are slightly noisey in the VR and I want to get it sorted before I sell it. I know you can adjust them yourself if you know what you're doing but if they all need replacing, is it costly? Link to post Share on other sites

Miss-Vw 2 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ok thanks. How can you tell if they all need replacing just by listening? Does the ticking generally just get louder? I know some people would mistake it for timing chains. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 its normal more on idle and the noise would be coming from the belt side or top of engine not gearbox side Link to post Share on other sites
McPikie 3 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 what if the noise only comes randomly, say 3-4k?When not underload just revving from standstill. Sounds like noise is from middle of head somewhere?And underload when driving is constand, liike a knock/rattle/miss kind of noise. Link to post Share on other sites
