Keegs Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have a 3.2 V6 in my cabriolet which is about a year old and 8K on the clock and has developed a ticking noise from the top when the engine gets hot. I have taken it in to the dealer with no feedback except it needed a litre of oil! Does anyone else have a 3.2 and gets the same noise, i.e. its normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Could be injectors or tappets? You always get the ticking noise of the injectors. The quieter the engine (more than 4 cylinders) the louder the injectors sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I agree, sounds like the tappets need stetting. What is your mpg like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegs Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I agree, sounds like the tappets need stetting. What is your mpg like? Thats what it sounds like to me, I think I am doing around 26MPG which is on B roads and through villages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Its not the tappets, all the 3.2's do it, (well every one including mine I've listened to has). I believe its down to the FSI fuel pump/direct injection gubbins being noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Mine does it as well sometimes, as for MPG I am averaging around 27MPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
