#1: 'Ticking' top end at all RPMs. Author: GTIjim, Location: LincolnPosted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:01 pm ---- My 98,000 mile GTI has a ticking noise across the whole rev range. I wouldnt call it loud but its certainly there. I'm new to Peugeot petrol engines but far from new to motor repair and and can only be on of a few things:
Hydraulic lifters/Tappets have partial blockage in one or more 'buckets',
Incorrect timing,
Failing exhaust manifold gasket,
Worn injectors,
Snapped valve spring.
While i appreciate with the age of the vehicle it really could be any of the above, I was hoping to know if any were a common occurance on a GTI lump approaching 100k?
Kind Regards,
Jim

havent tried anything yet, but am going to try engine flush and oil change and see how it is after.
