#1: 206 gti weird knock Author: gtichris09, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 2:46 pm ---- Hi everyone im a new owner to a 2000 gti, hope someone can help me but on idle there like a knock sound coming from behind or near steering wheel and sometimes while driving, look in engine bay and cant see anything out the normal. If i sit in the car an give it a little rev it goes then back again on idel, could that be heat shield or sumit, as it runs fine. Tappits are loud but i can live with that.

Doesnt do it all the time while i drive so i know its not engine or running gear, are manifold on these car rattle some times or any boxs or clamps that could make a noise.
Just to try and explaine the sound, when idle on some times i can hear it then a little rev it goes and then when car settles its back.
or when driving can hear it till hit higher rpm and then goes for a bit and comes back.
Please someone help so i know what it could be

mine is a HDi GTi, so basically the same car...

There is a known noise issue with the manifold.
The 4 tubes inside can rattle / knock together, official Peugeot fix is remove the manifold & weld the ends of the tubes together & then weld to the outer.
