Alright, I am at a loss with my problem in my passat.
It is a 2005 B5 2.0 TDI Auto
When under load something pops or clunks really pretty loud on the drivers side of the engine then it sound like louder knocking and or louder air noises. It also has substantially lower power during this time and idles/runs much rougher. Once you let off and go back it idle it sounds like a spinning clunking noise then a final clunk and it goes back to running fine as if nothing was wrong at all. Its gotten worse and worse to where I just parked it and stole the wifes 2019 Jetta to commute with haha. The motor mounts are suspect a bit but I highly doubt they are causing this issue. This sounds like internal engine/trans noises when it happens. Definitely rpm/load induced. You can also duplicate the symptom if you rev it hard it park and let off fast.
I havent been able to find anyone else with these kind of symptoms. I will say that previously I did have the dash flash for emissions stuff. But it would come up then just go away on its own.
This car has some work done to it.
Balance shaft delete
Stage 2 tune
ect ect.
Approximately 250k miles.
