im having problems with my sound on my computor, but ill bet your talking about the lifter tick our cars are notorious for. There are many threads about this with video clips - check them out maybe they can help. If its the lifters you can change to the 3g revised lifters and the tick will go away.

It sounds like the normal lifter tick dsm's have a reputation for.

 

[dsmer44]

lifter tick like ^^ was saying. Or I have also heard injectors make loud ticking noises before. Just a suggestion.

Dude, I saw like 5 things you need to fix on that thing just in the vid.

 

[Alan11]

Lifter tick.
And you need to recirculate your BOV.

 

[TSI_AWD_FTW]

yes you need the hose, thats like running without a air filter, also there car is getting more or less air than it thinks it is, or you could get a cap to put on the intake pipe.

 

[gomills516]

Yea im looking for a cap but where can i get one that size

This is to dsmrollerz90

please let me know the 5 things that need to be fixed ### i had my friend put it together ### i was vaca and he made it seem like it was perfect so let me know !!!

Thank you

If your talking about capping where the bov should be recirculated I have some news for you..You cant just cap it, You really need to get it back to recirculating..If you want to run a vented bov, you need to go through the tech articles and find out how to do it properly..I'm not going to spoon feed it to you..

Like stated before tho, sounds like lifter tick..3g lifters will fix that right up..

 

[gomills516]

forget it my friend just hooked me up with a new oem recirculating hose so im just going to leave it with the hose

Thanks for the tip!

Its best to get it fixed as soon as possible as there's slack in the adjusters that's why you hear the ticking noise and if it goes on too long it could damage your valves.

Have you tried just changing your filter to a OEM one? Some times this works too but, its best to just upgrade to 3g lifters anyways.

3g lifters can be had for less than 100 bucks and free to install if you do it.

Not sure how much a shop would charge to do it.

Theirs a tech guide here that shows a step by step how to on changing your lifters.

Here is a good place to get 3g lifters.

If you want your car to run correctly, then yes it's mandatory. Your car is Pulling timing, therefore making it run like crap.

Injector ticks is normal, there just solenoids that open and close. I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have a data logger? You could then confirm if youre logging any counts of knock.

 

[gomills516]
