Jetta Glx
What issues have you experienced in your 1998 volkswagen jetta glx vr6?
I just purchased a used jetta and am concerned with a knock, and wanted to see how others experiences has been.
What kind of a knock is it? Just on start up, or constant? These do have a minimal amount of lifter tick, if they have been sitting for a bit. Which part of the engine bay are you hearing it from? Does it fluctuate with an increase / or decrease in RPM? How many miles are on it? Have the timing chain guides been replaced? I’ll see if I can find some audio of the different sounds these things can make. I know I have audio of a spun rod bearing, it happened on mine.

This one is some top end noise, I’m not exactly sure what the cause is. (waiting to find out)
