Hi all,

Ive got a 2006 1.6 FSI MK5 Golf and it has a whirring noise or humming noise coming from the engine on tickover. It only does it when its warm however.

Ive taken the car into a VW dealership and heres what they have told me:

1st they were 99% certain it was the oil pump - turned out it wasnt.

2nd they thought it was the induction or the intake manifold - turns out that wasnt true either as a result they updated some software.

3rd they have now told me "it is a characteristic of the car"

I dont believe this as my neighbour has the same car and his doesnt make the noise??

Any thoughts on the problem here?

Thanks
