Hi Folks,
I have a 1.6 FSI which I've been running for about 18 months now. It seems to be developing a problem but the deadlers are not being very helpful!
Sometimes when I start the engine when it has either cold or it has been standing for a few hours there is a knocking sound (sounds a bit like a diesel!) for a few seconds [16].
It sounds like it is taking a while for the oil to get around the engine. I think its not normal as it doesn't do it EVERY time and I've never heard that kind of noise from any other car I've had.
I mentioned it to the dealer prior to the last service but they said they couldn't reproduce it (they ALWAYS say that!) and it was probably don to lo oil. However, it did it a couple of days after the service (when the oil level was as set by the dealer!) and I've always been very careful to maintain the correct oil level (although it seems to be rather difficult to read the oil level on the dipstick!)
Any thoughts?
