jamestopdog Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Right any mechanics help me please, cars started making terrible noise coming from engine bay, first noticed it on reversing but also does on slowing down, like a very loud vibration/grinding, as you look at engine bay its on the left hand side, new wing/side of engine near expansion. Please see video, also when i lean on the rocker cover it does it and take weight off it stops...possible dogbone or engine mount?http://youtu.be/TO2jCr3AUYc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestopdog Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I know mate, just been on a 500 mile trip and no worries now just started doing this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Do you have to put much pressure on the rocker to make it do the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 You're probably right, to me that sounds like one of the engine mounts is knackered Could be worse though, could be the timing belt tensioner rattling its t!ts off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestopdog Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Do you have to put much pressure on the rocker to make it do the noise?Just lean on it mate (i am quite heavy!) You're probably right, to me that sounds like one of the engine mounts is knackered Yeah i reckon, sounds really bad when reversing but cant really here it in tickover Could be worse though, could be the timing belt tensioner rattling its t!ts off Hopefully not mate only had the belt done a couple of months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestopdog Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hmmm interesting just read that the mount has to be removed for a timing belt change and the bolts are torque to yield bolts that can only be used once....'someone who is knowledgeable about TDI's(definitely NOT the dealers). Please do a search here under broken engine mount-you will discover that most people had the TB changed by the dealer or "someone who works on diesels"-the TB on your car has TTY bolts (torque to yield) -that means they are ONE TIME USE ONLY BOLTS!!!!!! 'Whats the bet this is what happened...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I imagine new bolts won't cost much? Can't hurt to change them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
