Dear members,
I am having a strange noise with my 245 HP Hybrid Formentor. The dealer cannot find the fault either. Does anyone happen to have experience with this noise? It almost always happens when you are braking.
Thanks in advance!
You will always here noises with a cold start but there is a certain point you cannot agree with. Here is one: http://youtu.be/q5EVcMfoYyA (Yes 1.2 tsi has it as well)
The noise is a sign for the tensioner building up oil pressure and the chain itself which can grow up to 2cm longer. VW/Seat will install new parts with a new chain. The longer/harder the noise, the more f*** you are.
2.0 T(F)SI is known for the same problem. So now the belt is back like the...
Lucifer FYI,
There is an solution for the timing chain. It is a big problem in the Netherlands and Germany. There are new parts to solve the problem and VW will compensate you if you're car always went to the "stealers". Loud thicking noise at cold starts will warn you for the problem.

2010 Cave w/ Stage 2 without (!) Warrenty means getting rid? :p

The more expensive FR wheels look great in black. Like he said. Every white car needs Black wheels. Its so much better and with Plastidip its 20 pounds. Look at the picture for the diffuser and wheels.
I've driven around 25.000km with the remap. Never experienced gearbox problems. The FR...
My FR mods:
* Dip wheels black
* Dip grill black
* Dip white stripe rear bumper black
* Gloss black mirror covers
* Gloss black interior parts (like cupra)
If you find the car getting boring:
* Stage 1 Remap (A must)
* Remove center box (A must)
* Spacer/dumpvalve
1.4 TSI Cupra/GTI/VRS
2.0 TFSI GTI's
And a lot more..
They all have them. Looks like the actuator opens and closes a gap from the engine-bay to the cabin. Easy to disconnect.
