Supercharger Fault

[Stoney!]

Curious why a thread about a mechanical noise in a 118tsi was merged with one about a GTi.

I've fixed it up. One of the other mods may have not understood what the issue is.
If this is the "supercharger clutch chirp" though, then it'll need to be merged into that thread....

though, I don't really understand how 4 clicks can be confused for a chirp...

It's not the chirp, it is more of a rattle (sounds like a busted CV joint) and its like the clutch is engaging and disengaging multiple times very quickly probably more like its slipping though. Happens very rarely to the point where it's impossible to reproduce, I've had the water pump replaced which fixed the issues..... i thought, but it's still there. But happens a lot lot lot less now, lucky to be once a month.

Some people may not even know its happening. if you have to windows up and music on you may not notice apart from the fact the car mildly bunny hops a bit as it does it.

I've also noticed it used to do it almost every time without fail after i took the car to car lovers to get washed......

If you want a thread to merge it with, then merge it with my old one here. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f112...ult-39593.html
