My MK5 Jetta BRM TDI with 230,000 miles developed an odd “scraping/rattling” sound recently - strangely after emissions testing (maybe coincidence). My first thought was the clutch or the dual-flywheel. I did have that replaced with recommended FAG kit years ago and thought it would last the life of the car. Maybe coincidence, but when I press the clutch pedal in, it seems to stop. Then I thought maybe something with the lifters/camshaft, but no loss in power - put in a chime played stage 2 6 or 7 years ago.
Here’s the video. Any thoughts?
