#1: 206 gti engine knocking Author: stucowley, Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 5:09 pm ---- Recently bought a 206 gti on a 52 plate, its done about 96000 miles, 3 previous owners , there's a knocking in the engine, garage said it could be a hydraulic tap?? they said to start with an engine flush and oil change and run for a day.
any other ideas what it could be?? is the engine flush the way forward?
cheers

as mentioned check the manifold, it used to wind the fu*k out of me when i had my 137 a few years back! hold the car at 4000k revs see if you can hear it!
