AndrewBl Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hi, I went to look at a A3 2011 1.6 TDI S line 3dr today with a view to buying. Lovely car, great condition. My only concern was a ticking noise coming from the engine bay when idling. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what this noise could be? Video included in the link below. It's not the easiest to hear but it's the ticking noise every 1 to 2 seconds that you can hear in the background. The car has had a recent cambelt and water pump change. It has done 77,000 miles. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5x5AWop6bGdFEe327 Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello Andrew, My hearing is shot, so apologies. On another score, we need Steve Y to confirm/refute that this year falls within the ‘low friction engines’ period = high oil consumption. Worth bearing in mind? Kind regards, Gareth.
