Glad mine doesnt sound like that! Thought that was loud!

I assume everything is attached like it should be?

As far as I know. Going to have a look this morning.

[mdking]

Looks like everything is attached correctly.

Cold engine.

Cold start vrs 2:

It's a very rhythmic sound, a bit like a sewing machine as someone said. There's not something stuck on the belt at 0.44-ish, is there? Something whizzing past periodically? Or just some writing on it?

Not very well.

Valves, top end sound to me.

 

Hard to tell because its so noisy.   Knocking though.

 

EDIT,  PS

I thinks its firing on 3 cylinders.

Just writing, I think.

Too late to take it to a skoda dealer today. Service department shuts at 12! Stupid!

[Ootohere]

Any news on what happened?

[mdking]

The car is booked in for next Saturday. I shall find out more then.

[mdking]

There is an audible sqeak on start up. Only happens once around 2 secs after starting.

Also there seems to be a valve "fart" noise after the eninge is turned off. I presume this is releasing air?

I hope im not going mad and hearing things!

[MattGreen]

Were there any updates with regards to this issue?

[mdking]

Hi Matt, 

 

The car went in for a service last Saturday. 

 

They had a quick look whilst they updated the DSG and Oil. They said, they couldn't find any fault codes. 

 

However, the car is going back in next Tuesday evening. This is due to a 30m+ Scratch on the bonnet that appeared whilst in their hands (But to be fair, they have contacted me and organised a CC. 

 

I have asked them to look at the engine, specifically from cold. And even though no faults codes are found, to check the misfire logs / count.

 

But to sum up, they seemed to think the engine tone and movement was normal..

Their Techs are often call Tommy,

 because they are Deaf, Dumb & Blind, and every cars sounds about right to them.

 

Best thing is to go Listen yourself to another vRS or 3, & you decide if they sound like yours.

You will listen with an ear that hears, and an open mind,

and with the intention of your car driving as designed to, in engine tone and movement.

My cars in for its 20k service on Tuesday. I have ask them to check mine, as it sounds pretty similar to yours. Will report back with news.

[newbie69]

George could you upload a similar video of yours in order to have something to compare to? Honestly to me it didn't sound as bad, maybe a bit louder than what I would expect but not something crazy. I will try to record a video of mine as well once I get home.

 

PS. I do have the distinctive "farting" on turning off the engine, I would describe it as the noise you hear when you have a puncture, 6-8 consecutive times every time I switch off the engine but I would swear it only started recently.

post #21 sounds pretty good.

A cold engine running nicely, & not sounding like a bag of nails.

 

Worth comparing to post #28

I have started to get this noise after turning off the engine.

It is to do with the hot weather, these engines run very hot so it is to do with cooling after shutdown.

There is a thread on here about it.

[Ally_bassman]

Here is what mine sounded like the other day. Engine hot, oil temp around 92 upon shut down.

[newbie69]

Here's mine this afternoon but with the engine cover off which I have to say makes it sound louder:

(Sound goes up and down because I move the phone around)

I think it is your mechatronic unit and I also think this is normal.

[Th3Grinch]

Glad I found this thread. Was wondering what that hissing noise was. I asked skoda to look at it but I got the 'they all do that' unfortunately they didnt have one there to compare to. So this is definitely a normal noise? Just because its only started very recently. Maybe when the dsg work was done but that may be me being paranoid/on a witch hunt.

[MidlifecrisisT]

Alright guys. I had a listen to mine earlier and sounds very similar to the vids that have been posted if I am honest. I did film it, so I'll try to get a video up.

[MattGreen]

Just as a comparison I filmed a cold start on mine today. The noise is normal I think (phone video makes it sound worse than it really is...) just wanted to show how my engine moves about due to its misfire or whatever it is.

Oh and with regards to the movement of the engine whilst cold, I'm currently having work done on mine under warranty for it. (Juddering like that is not normal). Mine developed it so I know its not normal as it didn't used to happen. Good luck.
