Hi all,

 

I've recently noticed a new noise from the engine, from high pressure fuel pump area. It gets louder under load / acceleration. Maybe subjectively, but the car seems to have lost some power too. Can someone confirm if your engine sounds the same or if there are known issues? This is MK4 1.4t with approx. 10k km on the odometer.

 

The dealer told me they can't hear anything.

Here is a short video:

 

Thanks!

Was that the Master Tech at Tech at a dealers rather than some Sales person.

 

No idea if something wrong it sounds like there is, and i am deaf in one ear, were they deaf in both ears?

No, that definitely isn't normal. I have the same engine and no such noise. I agree with @Ootohere, you'd have to be deaf to miss hearing it. I'd contact the dealer service manager direct and make an appointment to see them. If they try fobbing you off, go to Skoda AU, you have a legitimate concern here.
