Mk 7 Mwb 2.2 2008, Bought this last year ran great since then, over last week engine has intermittently started rattling when i put my foot down, then today has started Knocking, with the revs fluctuating, managed to get a specialist (Mobile Mechanic ) to have a look, just managed to start it up revved it up & immediately tuned of the ignition to see when fuel was cut will it still Knock, Obviously it still did (Great).
so he has said the only way forward would to start stripping the engine apart to see what the problem is also no idea of cost, blank cheque basically, Not sure best way forward as i have a 2012 van as well to use so just
sell it on eBay as a none runner & cut my losses... What would you do ?
