Hi,
First post, hope someone can help.
Bought a 63 plate GTD few months ago and is still under warranty.
Not sure if it has always done this but I’ve only noticed it in the last few weeks. When you accelerate hard through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, there is a tinny rattle from the front of the car. I would say its like a heat shield loose type rattle from previous experiance of this type of noise and i would expect to pull the suspect heat shield off and all would be well again.
Seen as its under warranty i took it back to the main dealer who said nothing was wrong until i took a technician out on a road test in it, he said “oh that noise”, “its how this type of engine sounds”.......
I wanted to believe him and he explained that it was combustion noise and what i can hear is the cylinders, and the diesel exploding blah blah blah. He then said if it was louder he would suspect an dodgy injector. Which is a suspect statement.
My thoughts are I’m not sure and feel fobbed off by VW, they might be right that’s how its meant to sound, but paranoid me doesn’t believe them.
Does anyone else’s GTD sound like this? Any advice? Hope someone can put my mind at rest.
Thanks for your time, Joe.
