Hello everyone,
Quite often I hear a fairly pronounced (though not loud), short-duration (2-3 seconds), RPM-dependent ticking noise from the engine when I am coasting to a stop with my foot off the throttle. The timing of when the noise seems to coincide with DSG downshifts. If this is the sound of injectors firing to rev-match the engine, then why is it so noticeable? I don't hear any ticking from the engine in any other driving situations. Can somebody else relate to this?
