Mk 7 2.2 tapping noise

Postby Arobbo1 » Sun Oct 28, 2018 11:09 pm

Hi All,

Sold my mk7 LWB this weekend and picked up a nice SWB 2.2 FWD. it has been well looked after with loads of history. There is what can only be explained as a tapping noise on tick over and when driving, it doesn't effect it in any way while driving or idling but just isn't right. I can only describe it as sounding like tappets on an old petrol motor.

I know it has been covered before on here but the threads are years old, anybody else had this?

Thanks in advance.

Have a quick check of the injector hold-down clamps/bolts, if loose they can allow the injectors to jump around a bit, hence the tapping noise.

Failing that, "some" of the 2.2 engines were prone to cracking pistons and throwing small end bearings.
