I have posted questions on here regarding the fact that my car starts very hard every now and then. Randomly it can take about 10 seconds of cranking before it fires up. It then puffs out a bunch of smoke for a second. Outside temperature does not affect it. Most of the time it fires up real nice.
I checked timing with vagcom and it shows dead on.
Glow plug lights come on and off real nice.
IQ is set to about 4.
Starter and battery are perfect.
But.... the problem I am real worried about now is that "THE engine started a Loud ticking!!"......
It runs real nice from what I can tell but I am scared to run it much till I figure out what this is. I don't want a lifter or something to explode and ruin my whole engine.
Anybody have any idea of what this is? What should I check?
thanks!
