SEAT LEON CUPRA 280 rattle when you rev it

[rabitard]

Hello, i dont know if that topic was already here, but i have the problem with rattle sound, i think its from the top of the engine. Car is quiet at idle, but as soon as u press accelerator it rattle at the top of the engine.

I am afraid that this is bad/broken piston, but want to hear did someone had same issue?

try unplug the camshaft adjuster magnets. see if noise stops.

Just took off the oil pan, bearing on crankshaft is demolished.

 

[The-Cupra]

is there metal in the oil? that doesnt sound good.

I am going to rebuild whole engine, would get forged crankshaft probably , bcz i have bigger turbo, injen intake, scorpion exhaust and downpipe...
Yeah, there is a lot of metal in there.

I have seen this a few times, have you run the car on minimum oil level for awhile without noticing? I know some engines can burn oil so i can see how it could be easily done. Especially when mapped.

I dont know very much actually, I bought it like this. But oil might be the problem.
I had mk7 gti before, it had 320ps and 350.000km, oil changed every 5-6k and everything good…
Yeah, car was runing 400+ hp for sure.
Would try to get everything oem, only crankshaft and conrod forged.
Well… thats the plan, would see when we demont whole engine and when i write all costs on the paper.
Wont go for 2nd hand engine i think, bcz i need to rebuild that 2nd as well if i want something reliable…
