100% new to this site!!
I have a 2000 passat TDI PD 115 bhp sport.
when the engine is warm and idle it starts to make a puffing noise like a train!!
i have taken the cover off the engine and found where the noise is coming from.
list to the left of the engine (next to the oil cap) there is a round metal disc like dome. just undernieth that there is a small hole (which looks like its supposed to be there.
This hole is pushing out air which is causing the noise!
as you can probably tell I dont know a great deal about cars, but I didn`t want to take it to the garage and get ripped off by someone because I didn`t know what was wrong!
I tried to get some images off the internet to explain what the part was but couldn`t find any, sorry!
help!!
