I just picked up this 90 talon Tsi for 600.00, The body is in great condition all stock owned by a old guy, really a steal will have pics up soon, The car runs and idles great better then any of my other DSM's but i have a problem:
When i hit the throttle before it goes over 3500RPM the motor sounds healthy and great but after that i hear the loudest rattle coming from the belt area, its really loud, not a knock though.. sounds like putting a coke can between the spokes of a bicycle tire. Anyone have any ideas of clues thanks.

At three times engine speed the front ballance shaft is coming apart. As I told another guy a couple days ago cut the oil filter open and see if it made metal.
