2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDI Rattle from engine in idle when warm?

giggsy07

Hi guys.Just noticed my 2006 2.0 tdi passat has a rattle sound.Is not there when the engine is cold but after say half to 1 hours driving becomes evident.If i raise the revs it dissapears.Still there while clutch pressed/depressed so taught it cant be a DMF but im no mechanic.Seems to be coming from the passenger side.Just flushed the engine and changed the oil to VW fully synth long life also put some valve clean in there but still there.Drives 100%.Any help greatly appreciated people.Thanks..

DMF noise isn't usually affected by pressing the clutch. The best thing you could do is take the car to a good mechanic and have them listen to it. The internet is not an ideal place to diagnose something as subjective as a noise.

DMF's can fail in different ways so the noise/symptoms can be different in different cases.

Where are you based?

Nonoperational

Could be the DMF starting to go. It may progress.

Your a 20min drive from George on the motorway to get your worries sorted.

As above, you are only up the road from us. I would be happy to have a quick listen and give you my opinion on the noise if you want.

My mothers 07 C-Max had a similar issue and it turned out to be the flywheel. After significant haggling she got the cost of repair down to 1500 euro. She put off the fix for about 6 months and her hand was pushed to fix it when the clutch stuck to the floor and wouldn't move.

I hope you're luckier than that.

Passat DMF change costs nowhere near €1500.

Yep in ireland, not so funny story...I just got mine replaced today and it broke down on the way home. Dealer reckons "the fuel pump was probably on its way out and this put the final pressure on it" but I'll start another thread on that...!

From reading the description OP it does sound like the flywheel to me - I've the same model/year as yours and had to get mine replaced last year for the same symptoms.

There's a plate bolted to the engine beside the turbo which sometimes works its way loose (on passats and all similar VAG variants)...may not be noticable when the engine is colder (and slightly noisier)...but any decent mechanic should be able to tell you what it is.

Good news at least.

I wonder will they be reimbursing those who have had to replace their own injectors up until now?:rolleyes:

A lot of people in the UK got their money back after the recall started over there.

Was that not only if they paid full whack at a vw approved service centre?

Id say you can bet your b6 it had to be done by a certified VW business in order to be refunded..

Sounds like the concentric slave cylinder went there, and unfortunately she was ripped off for the price of that particular clutch kit.

Get your man to check the throttle housing motor as well, the teeth on the gears can strip and cause similar noises. Usually accompanied by a fault code though and a tendency to run on when switched off...

The OP was down with me today and the noise is indeed the flywheel
