Model Year 21/22 Metalic ticking noise in certain throttle valve position 1.5 TSI

[Pepcox]

Does anyone had an experience with kind of metalic ticking noise in certain accelerator pedal position (throttle valve flap position)? It started before a few hundred miles. the car has about 50000 km at the moment. The sound is not bind to the engine speed. Only to the certain position of the throttle valve. I went to the dealer and they kind of refuse do anything about it. They said that it might be camshaft actuator and it is normal. But I don't think so as the camshaft actuators are only operating in the phase of switching between two or four cilinder mode.. Right?

Here is the record of the noice with a few values taken from the car.

What do you think it could be?

Thats your turbo actuator rattling mate, start it from cold with the bonnet open and put your hand on the rod on the turbo and you will see that you can make the noise come and go.
There should be a TPi for this with a repair kit for the rod that has a sprung washer to stop the rattle.

Hope this helps mate.

Don't you have a TPI number by any chance so I can confront the dealer with it? Thanks a lot!
