Hey guys, I was parking my car tonight and heard a tapping noise, on closer inspection i discovered that it was coming from the back, somewhere behind the engine. Its a 20vt with 80,000 on and has had a water pump change at 60,000. The noise is very quiet at the moment, but as you can imagine...

I recently got my Leon FR 1.8T remapped and now a few days later the car has developed a loud blowing which smells like exhaust. It started out just an occasional noise, now it has progressed to constant when the engine is cold, a little noisy when warm with no throttle and loud with any sort...

Hi all, Just wondered what you guys used to clean your engine bay as mine seems very dirty compared to others. Cheers, Anthony

...and it's not my engine! Thank you. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this on an FR170. Maintaining 1250rpm / 1400rpm and driving in first gear I hear a noise which is best likened to a panel or fitting in the engine bay vibrating, It could even be a pipe I suppose. It goes away as engine...
