I have got the 1.6Tdi 2010 with 5000km on the clocks. Question- Has any 1.6 Tdi owner ever experienced the following? On total random 1st start ups you get a rattle or ticking noise from the no3 or no4 cylinder (closest to battery) which sounds like a hydraulic lifter that has not lifted? This rattle will carry on for always about 3 min before it slowly goes away. You can immediately hear the differance once it is gone. Always the same cylinder. Had a 2009 1.9 Tdi before so know how quiet these new 1.6Tdi engines are. Car is by Vw, they swopped injectors, checked engine oil pressure with no positive result. Vw says it is because the car does not get used every day that this is happening. Has any other 1.6Tdi ever done this? Any input welcome. Thanks
