Hello All,
Got a 64 plate b8.5, CREC engine, 33k miles with full history.
Car is new to me
Noticing a faint knock/rumble at idle with car sat in park, goes as soon as revs are raised.
Sounds like it's from rear lower, possibly gearbox area (can hear through drivers side wheel well most prominent). With my ear to the grill/rad area it isn't so audible
Is this a usual DSG sound maybe or are they meant to be silent?
Drives perfect with zero issues -, just noticed it when got out and left it ticking over!
Tried to find a few idle videos but most have noisy exhausts or are showing chain rattle - this isn't a rattle sound it's quite deep and remains fairly constant even once warmed up.
Obviously you can't hear it inside car or once moving, only when idling and you listen for it.
Not as loud as a bottom end or rod knock type noise
Thanks in advance for any input
