Ukratko coveku crkao motor na ganc novom Golfu GTI sa samo 12.000 km na sebi.
The engine in my 2010 GTI, with 8000 miles on the clock, failed Thursday. I was driving to work, pulled up next to another car at a stoplight, and heard a "clack clack clack clack" noise and thought it was the other car. Then the light changed and the noise stayed with me. And in the half-mile from there to work, it seemed to be getting worse.
The noise seemed to be coming from the front end of the engine, it was kind of like a playing card in bicycle spokes kind of sound -- it went up in frequency with revs. There was no error code, and the car didn't seem to be missing or be down on power. I didn't see or feel any metallic particles on the dipstick. But it sounded dreadful, like a rod knock, turned bearing, or dropped valve kind of noise.
I had VW Roadside Assistance flat-bed the car from my place of work to the dealership, and they gave me a loaner car. Dropped the car off at 5:00 PM Thursday so no one has looked at it yet. The bad news is that the loaner car is a 2011 Nissan Altima, a white 4-door with a CVT. I hate it. It may say "Nissan" on the badge but it drives like a Buick. But at least I'm not stranded.
Anyone wish to speculate what has failed? What would make that kind of death-racket without throwing an engine code?
