Hi all my fellow geniuses
I recently bought a golf 1.6 Tdi 2014 with 60k miles on it.
Two initial issues:
1. Metallic rattle from the engine bay. I know diesels are noisy, but this seems to be something different. Also hear the golf blow quite loud at 1800rpm. No faults stored. After listening in the engine bay, definitely feels like it’s coming from the back of the engine. To me, it seems like it’s the boost pressure solenoid and it does get very hot.
2. Reverse clicks. When I put the car in reverse and set off, then put the clutch in whilst car is going backwards - I get a terrible clicking noise.
I have notified the dealer, but it doesn’t hurt to get other people’s thoughts / ideas on what to check.
