Hi fellow car enthusiasts.

Name's Robbie, living in Melbourne.

I just picked up a 2002 VOLKSWAGEN BORA V6 4MOTION.

Bit concerned with a constant but irregular tapping sound, accompanied by a soft mechanical sound (sort of like CD stuck in a CD player trying to be read) coming from what seems to be below the gear box.

It's only noticeable when can is idling, but I imagine it's there all the time.

Anyone had similar issues or have any idea what it could be?

Ta
