Hello all,
I haven't been on in forever as I sold my other TDI but recently bought a 2000 jetta with the alh engine, 5 speed. Car has 357000km on it and just had the timing belt done. Car purred like a kitten before doing a oil and fuel filter change but now it seems to have a slight knock. I used a oem fuel filter, castrol 5w40, and a fram filter (ya i know i cheaped out) and I also filled the tank and dumped a bottle of kleen flo TKO diesel fuel system cleaner into it. The knock was pretty bad at first for about a minute but after driving the car it seemed to quite down a lot. I posted a video on youtube to hopefully help in some way, I do not have vag-com but can get access to a scanner monday although no engine lights are on. hoping I'm not crazy and possibly dropped a tool in the engine bay then it rattled out and now I'm just thinking it still has a knock hahaha let me know what you think
