Hey fellas, recently I've noticed some engine knocking on my '15 GTI. It's more pronounced from a cold start but doesn't happen all the time. Doesn't do it when I drive but will do it if i revv from 2k rpm, as it comes down, it's a diffrent frequency than the valve tick.(again, seems when oil temp is cooler). Doesn't matter if clutch is engaged or not.
-10k miles
-oil changes every 3k castrol professional oe
-apr stage 1 low output
-93 pump gas
-apr intake
-denso ihk 24 spark plugs
-awe cat back
-oil temp 200-225F
-engine temp 200f
-boost -21.0 - -22.6 idle

(It's after I revv it, as it comes down, you'll hear the knock. It does it s few times. Keep your focus off the valve tick)
My car sits a lot with half tank or less for 1-2 weeks often. I usually go to the same gas station. Could be gas related? I do short drives, carbon build up on the colder plugs? I brought it to vw and of course it would do it. They heard the video but couldn't give me much insight. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
