I have a 1995 90 tdi. Completely standard a little rusty in places which I can live with to repair as and when I get time but there is a noise which is really getting at me.
I have tried searching the threads but no cure has popped up in front of me for my issue. Sorry if this has already been covered.
There seems to be a metallic rattle which can only be described as a ting ting ting type of rattle as if two small pieces of metal are rattling against each other. It seems to only be under acceleration or it could be being drowned out by engine noise when up to speed. It seems to disappear when I put my foot on the clutch and it's more noticeable in 1st and 2nd gear at low speed acceleration. I have checked brake pads, loose exhaust mountings and had a go at the UJs but they all seem solid and I can't get any movement out of it. The prop has some slack in it probably about an 1/8th of a turn. Not sure if this should be there though as the rear one has no play. Anyway this rattle is the big issue can anyone help??
Regards
Chris
