Hello, my first post here and of course its about something thats bad.
I've got 1984 TAS Golf 1 thats been converted to 1.6TD CY engine code and 5 speed gearbox mated to it.
The thing is that since i've bought it, it has a wierd rattle when i rev the engine high and let go off the throttle. Also, the engine seems to vibrate more than it should on higher engine speeds...
When im standing still in neutral, rev the engine high and let go off the throttle, the rattle is heard from the engine bay directly in front of me (gearbox area) and it sounds like a bearing thats shot and is slowing down with grinding noise because of too much friction, or an angle grinder thats been turned off, it slows down as revs go down.
When im moving, lets say accelerating with WOT, every press of the clutch to change gear that same sound is heard but more violent, it has the patter of BOV sound on a gasser engine. It is also heard when going constant speed at high revs leting off the throttle and pushing the clutch pedal. Letting of the throttle without pushing in the clutch pedal the sound is not heard, although engine seems to vibrate more than it should.
Engine mounts are like new, it doesnt rattle with hanbrake engaged in reverse or 1st gear.
I am thinking of flywheel or some of the bearings near it, as flywheel would have that grinding rattling decelerating pattern as revs go down, and vibrating at higher engine speeds.
I'll try to catch that sound on camera, but I doubt it'll be possible with all the IDI noises
Thing is I am not much of mechanic and have little tools to work with, so Im trying to narrow down the problems to spend as little time and effort at mechanics shop.
Cheers!
