Hey guys , I have a terrible engine noise couple weeks ago it started in the morning but after 30 seconds into driving it the noise would stop it sounded like a noises tappet but the whole car was shuddering , I then done an oil and filter change too see if it would help but it still done it every now and again well last night the noise didn't go away and still carried on knocking this morning when I was putting it under load it gets worse and when the revs increase it gets faster also when I am accelerating it feels like it is missing and the noise it's horrendous loud as anything .. In work today I cleaned the egr valve out to make sure it's seating correctly then I blanked it off. I also carried out a compression test , all okay, no faults logged with the car either using vag com, when I remove the inter cooler pipe which connects to the egr valve there's a pulsing / thumping out like its missing , also it's thumping from the exhaust too I feel it pulsing I replaced the flywheel not so long ago as well, sorry for the long essay :) but any ideas guys Ill be forever in debt :) haha . Cheers for the read guys !
 
Compression is 33 bar in each cylinder.
Nah I changed the filter about 3-4 months ago . And added diesel treatment fortee 2 weeks ago ..
I've had the inlet manifold off an all tonight and its coming back through so by the looks of things it's gonna be a valve .. Check the cam shaft it's all ok .. And yeah I have the proper stuff
 
Bit of an update camshaft is worn my bad haha couldn't really see it propley and on cracked valve
 
Yeah cos I work for seat I had a little discount haha cam was 470 but I took the head off them seen the cam haha so I've lapped in all the valves cos they were stinking replaced the seals them rebuild it with new shells and lifters all in 800 quid for parts as I'm doing it myself and I've cleaned out all the carbon build up :). Urmmm I'm not sure what was used in its past with the previous owner but I've been using our approved whizz 5w40 :) just a heafty bill at the end of this :(
