So, I own a 2003 Seat Leon PD150 and it started making a knocking/clunking sound. The engine temperature doesn't change the sound. The knocking sound is directly linked to RPM. Knocking on higher RPM sounds like metal parts bashing together. Knocking sound is not even noticeable when pressing the anti-shudder valve manually to the closed position.
I read codes with VCDS and it shows 17552 MAF error and 17964 Charge Pressure. The cam cover was taken off and everything looked pretty much ok.
I am losing hope in this. The ecu has been remapped and the turbo boosts 1.5bar. Also when the problem began I noticed that the turbo was acting weird, it did boost 1.5bar as normal, but when I released the throttle the boost gauge showed that it went from 1.5bar to 1 bar then bounced back to about 1.1 and then down. Almost as if the air was jumping back and forth somewhere? I also removed the EGR downpipe and plugged it.
Please tell me what could be the problem?
Thanks.
Here is a few videos of the sound.
