oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
okay, after some hard driving, at idle, I hear a NON-rythmic tappy/knocking type of sound.... doesn't sound like any Rod knock that I have every heard, but what do you all think?
the reason I think that it isn't a rod knock, is because it isn't steady.
kinda like
tap tap.....tap........tap........tap tap tap........tap.........tap
and only at low idle(750rpms)
what the heck could that be?

Re: oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
Could be timing belt idler/tension pulley making that kinda sound. Does it sound like it's coming from the timing cover area?

Re: oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
Just keep upping the boost on that k8 untill it goes away permanetly and there is no noise at all.

HAHAH
yes...i like that.
If its a tapping i don't think it's a tensionner. Check your oil.
Make sure nothing is tapping on your hood (happened to me...)
Or anything is loose.
Also, can you hear it if you stick your ear in your exhaust pipe?

Re: oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
I've never heard of that trick. Is that to see if its detonation? I don't think it would normally happen at idle.Also, can you hear it if you stick your ear in your exhaust pipe?
That intermittent tapping sounds like it might be a tensioner. My HLAs constantly tick.

Re: oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
If it is getting louder everytime that you are driving the car and it dissapears at higher RPM then it probably is the timing belt tensioner... Post a vid of what is happening.
BTW - How's your wastegate holding up???

Re: oh oh.....funny knocking sound..
wastegate? who needs that
nah, I have to let off at 4000rpms, cuz boost get over 5-7psi then.
kinda annoying, my wastegate is on backorder.
