Hello all,
Firstly, thank you to all the posters for their help so far - saved me a fortune with my leaky pollen filter and some other things.
I've got another slight issue on my 100bhp 51-reg AVB Passat: regardless of whether it's idling or driving along, I can always hear a sound (something between a click and a clunk), although not very loud. It doesn't repeat itself at a high frequency, which makes me thing it might be a belt. It also varies with revs.
I've tried locating it by listening, but I can't. Could it be a loose belt somewhere, or a timing misalignment, or something else..? I guess I could record the sound, if that would help?
Secondly, the car's run up about 142k miles now, and it needs a service. Timing kit should be good for a bit longer, so I probably won't be touching that. Other than oil, filters, brake pads & discs, possibly replace the AMM (occasional power dropouts while accelerating) what else should I have checked? I'll probably have a look at the EGR valve as well - I doubt it was ever cleaned..
Thank you!
