Hello all

 

need some advise for my vrs tsi 

has developed a ticking sound on idle, sounds like the top end is running dry and about to blow up lol 

it comes and goes and it’s only just started doing it, my car sat for two months recently when I was recovering from surgery and I don’t recall it doing it then and it feels abit lumpy when on start up idle, like a misfire which does clear after a short period 

Oil level is ok, and changed regularly with proper shell oil so it’s not that 

have searched around for advise and it sounds like it could be the n80 purge valve, what’s everyone’s thoughts on this any ideas, should I be worried ?
apart from this the car goes like a dream can’t hear it in the car but it’s quite prominent when parked up etc 

sorry for the essay 

Hello and Welcome to Briskoda.

 

Covered many times.  Depends exactly what the sound is.  The description of it coming and going sounds exactly like the evap purge valve above the intake manifold at the front of the engine when you open the bonnet.

 

Either record the noise or use your ear to confirm the tap tap tap is from that solenoid.

 

Mine has done it from purchase at 5yr and 34k miles. Still have not changed it.

 

Your other comments indicate it may be something else, or some other problems as well. Need more info really.   An evap problem will almost always show as a engine fault light and code.  Have you scanned?

 

How many miles on the car engine?

 

Hi, I recently done a N80 valve repair last week and upgraded to a newer rev number. I had ticking coming from the purge valve and engine warning light on orange. Now fixed! happy to share if you still need help.
