Golf 6 1.4 59kW - Ticking noise only audible near belts, engine itself sounds normal?
Hi everyone,
I have a Volkswagen Golf 6 1.4 petrol (59 kW), and I’ve noticed a ticking/clicking sound coming from the belt/accessory side of the engine.
On the video you can hear it near the belts but when i record close to the engine, engine itself is fine.
The car drives fine, there are no warning lights, and the engine performance feels normal.
Has anyone experienced something similar on the 1.4 engine? Could this be coming from the accessory belt, tensioner, alternator pulley, water pump, or something else?
I’d really appreciate if someone with experience could listen to the video and tell me whether this is normal or if it’s something I should check soon.
Thanks!
