What Causes Engine Abnormal Noise in Passat?
1 Answers
Engine abnormal noise may be caused by carbon buildup in the throttle body, blocked exhaust system, faulty spark plugs, muffler issues, or cooling system failures. Below are other possible causes: 1. Camshaft wear: Excessive camshaft wear causes tappet jumping during operation. 2. Excessive valve clearance: Wear or improper adjustment of the valve stem end, adjusting screw or rocker arm leads to excessive valve clearance, causing impact between the rocker arm head and valve top in overhead valves. 3. Excessive carbon deposits: Too much carbon buildup in the valve guide. 4. Spring seat detachment: The valve spring seat becomes detached. 5. Tappet damage: Hydraulic tappet or tappet barrel is damaged.
