I have a loud knocking coming from my engine. Yesterday I left the house, drove two miles to a gas station and checked my tire pressure and oil level. Seeing that my oil level was low (I figure this was normal since I put about a thousand highway miles on since I last checked), I added about a quarter of a quart and drove five miles down the road. The noise began very suddenly. I pulled over and shut the car off. I then tried to start it back up but it wouldn't start. A passerby helped me jump it, but the knocking was still loud so I let it be.The sound is not that bad when idling, but when I accelerate it's very loud. It was just recently towed to a mechanic that I'm sure probably hasn't worked on a TDi before.
After watching a few videos and listening to the audio, it seems that other people have had the same problem. But, why would it do it after adding fresh 505 01 oil, which is pretty much all that's been run in it?
There are no leaks around the motor. Any ideas?
