I hear a clicking engine noise Volkswagen Polo 8
In case you experience a clicking engine noise on your Volkswagen Polo 8, and that this noise is close to a click, you will have to discern the origin place of it to be able to know the cause of it. You will need a mechanical stethoscope or a large screwdriver to locate the original area of these noises.
I hear a clicking noise coming from my high engine
If you hear an engine noise on Volkswagen Polo 8, and this noise is based at the top of the engine, it means that it is based at your cylinder head and accompanying components. Two components can be the triggers of these engine noises on Volkswagen Polo 8. Either the hydraulic pushers, generally it is because of their faulty “hydraulic catch-up” system that we will hear these clicking noises, often when cold and vanishes when hot. Otherwise, it is your the play of your rocker arms or their state of wear that is the concern. In cases like this, consider swapping them.
I hear a noise coming from the bottom engine of my Volkswagen Polo 8
If you have distinguished the region of origin of engine noise on Volkswagen Polo 8 that comes from your low engine, it may be that your rods or piston shafts are the triggers. In both scenarios, the long-term risk is engine failure. These two repairs are very difficult and most technicians will advise you to swap the motor of your Volkswagen Polo 8.
I hear an engine clicking noise on Volkswagen Polo 8 coming from combustion
Finally, if you have the feeling that this clicking noise is connected to the combustion of your engine, there are three plausible triggers of it. Examine the condition of your glow plugs which if worn can hinder the proper combustion of the fuel mixture. Then, your timing belt may be shifted and may poorly control the timing of the various engine components to induce good combustion. And finally, the most classic cause, comes from your injection, which is either blocked or one or more injectors is injured. In this case, do not be reluctant to refer to this content page which deals in detail with the several injector noises on Volkswagen Polo 8.
Hissing noise / engine friction Volkswagen Polo 8
Engine noise Volkswagen Polo 8 close to a bearing
If it is close to a squeaking noise you may have one of the bearings of your engine accessory parts that are reached. So verify the condition and try to discover the exact source of this noise by positioning someone at the engine at idle, and if this noise is more likely to show up in high rpm, accelerate and position someone at the engine block to determine the location of origin of the noise. The three components whose bearings are often at the origin of these noises are the water pump, the injection pump and the oil pump.
Engine noise Volkswagen Polo 8 when releasing or depressing the clutch
In the case that you notice engine noise on Volkswagen Polo 8, but this noise takes place mainly when you release or depress your clutch pedal, in this instance it is very likely that your release bearing is worn. In fact, a worn release bearing will make a noise close to a bell noise. To have more information about this noise and if you have managed to validate that the release bearing is indeed the reason of your problems, go here, to find a complete file on release bearing sounds on Volkswagen Polo 8.
Engine noise Volkswagen Polo 8 close to a friction
In case that you hear a motor noise on your Volkswagen Polo 8, and, that this noise is close to a friction, it is likely that one of your belts or one of the components that triggers it is the origin of your problems.Often, we will start to hear a motor noise on Volkswagen Polo 8, close to a friction when one of the belts is worn out or when one of the related parts like your alternator, or your tensioner roller is the trouble. So think about to verify their condition and go to your technician to swap the components in question. If you have been able to target the noise as coming from the belts and you want more details about it, go look at this content page on belt noise on Volkswagen Polo 8 for a complete guide.
Metal motor noise Volkswagen Polo 8
In case that you hear an engine noise on Volkswagen Polo 8 and this noise is close to metal noise, it is plausible that this noise comes from your gearbox or clutch. In fact, a metallic noise in the engine block is often connected with damaged sprockets. Try to verify that this noise comes from the transmission, if this is the case, quickly go to your technician or you would get a break down. Finally, the second possibility is that your silent engine blocks or rubber mounts may be dead. This triggers a metallic noise every time your engine moves, either because of a change of pace (acceleration or braking) or, when you pass on roads in poor condition. Examine the condition of your silentblocks and swap them if required.
