Rough noise on start up Mk2 Leon Cupra

[tom.b]

Thought i would start a new thread on this on as i dont want to go off topic on the other one lol

Right, i dont know if this is a normal cupra noise but on start up it sounds like a diesel
just as it fires up a grruumm noise... as i say sounds like a diesel lol. its deffinatly an engine noise and not from the exaust

once its started it idels with a normal noise although every now and then a bit of a blip and the revs drop slightly which you can feel as a judder when on tick over is this normal also

thanks in advance

Same as mine aswell...although mine sounds like misfires during start up but nothing counted for on vagcom (but yea most people think my car is a derv doh) lol

 

[tom.b]

thats just fine then lol only had it 4days still gettin used to all the noises and iv only got 3 month warrenty so trying to get anything wrong sorted now lol

Mines an fr and exactly same as you describe been like that from new, car as always ran fine with no issues standard or stage 1 so i assume that its just a trait of the 2 litre engine being noisy on startup.

They all sound like a diesel mate! Lol thot mines was ****ed when i bought it lol

I believe all the TFSI engines sound a bit rough on starting. something to do with the direct injection or something.

 

[cheungy]

same with TSI too well my ex 1.4 tsi (single turbo charged)

My FR TFSI was very clattery when first started - think they all do it. I found the occasional blips when idling were sorted out by using V-Power unleaded.

Hello guys , i know this is an old thread but just bought my car from main dealer its a 2.0tfsi with fsh and mine sounds really rough on start in the morning. anyone know the cause of this or is it normal. after the first start the car runs fine and other starts are not so bad. thanks again guys

And mine (1.4TSI)! Surprised how noisy the engine is to be honest; very quiet at idle (keep thinking it's stalled when stopped at traffic lights!) but quite noisy when thrashed...

I have just changed my Oil to Castrol Edge 5/30 as it is supposed to be better quality than the VW stuff,have noticed the Tsi is definitely quieter no tick at all so far.

Did anyone here notice that the car starts up different with clutch pressed ?
I have BSH engine mounts, i think they have been bedded in by now.. but I find the car stats up kinda rough.

 

[lc_allan]

They all start up rough from cold, post #11 explains it from the handbook.
When warmed up then off/on there is a noticeable difference.

 

[Joshkcupra]

If I start mine from cold it sounds awful, if I start it up after its been at idle temperature it starts lovely. These engines just sound shite when cold lol

 

[banksy21]

the 2.0tfsi is one of the worst sounding cars out there, but it soon makes up for that on performance.

Blimey the Op posted this in 2011 .....and he's not been on the site since 2013 !

But at least it helps everyone else on this site that has the same ENGINE .And yes, agree with other posts ,mine exactly the same ,but once warm it's a beast .
Really pleased with it ...touch wood ,5.5 months to go to warranty end ,but hardly any Oil used,idle perfect ,and no misfires

All to their own,but I never get it any beans until it's warmed up ..
