Empie,
New_York
I own a 97 talon tsi awd with a 6bolt swap. I had some issues with the drivetrain and put the car on the back burner to deal with other priorities. At the last runing the engine was fine (only has 2k on the motor) Replaced most of the drive train including a rebuilt tranny from jacks. Now when I start it I get this terrible knocking/strange vibration sound at lower (<3000) rpms. I cant, for the life of me, figure out what the sound could be. Ive checked the timing belt cover, upper and lower, the cam cap bolt torque. Like I said the motor and head are brand new...2k on them, and they were fine before. Could the 10 month sit cause these issues? Heres a video of the sound (I replaced some vacuum lines and caps, so I know that there are leaks but Im more worried with this vibration.
