So I am new to the TDI world, had this car about a month now and have driven less than 2k. Has 175k on motor and well maintained. Went to leave work this morning and heard a ticking that on a gasser sounds like an exhaust leak. Got it home and up on ramps but can’t pinpoint location or if it is certainly a exhaust leak.
While listening to the noise from under and in engine bay it changed pitch. Went from the normal exhaust leak tick to a more “open sounding” kinda tick, like larger volume of air. Car still drives and pulled fine.
While coasting down hill in gear and let the injectors cut out it is still audiable. It also changes with rpm on and off fuel. So I feel like it’s exhaust by all symptoms,but this is my first TDI. And I assume if it is exhaust and it ticks that it would be pre-turbo?
