Ok so i was driving today and everything was fine and then i noticed no boost. Car is ticking and then if i rev it up it will go away. What the hell could that be. there is oil in there so i know thats not it. im scared. please help

 

how many miles are on your car and what engine is it? any engine lights? if it is a 1.8t it sounds like your timing belt could have slipped a couple of teeth. If that is the case then the ticking you hear is your piston hitting your valves. that is the worst case senarion on the other side of the coin it could be something as simple as a boost leak hence the no boost and the ticking noise. wish I could help more

 

ok well it is a 1.8t and no engine lights on. i can rev it up and the ticking goes away.

 

if that is the case then probably a boost leak, check all of the flanges around our turbo and the check all of the pipes going into the intercooler, they are plastic and love to crack.

 

How are you verifying that there is no boost? Got a boost gauge???? The ticking sound is probably your cam chain tensioner.

Very strange signature btw

 

Well i hope to god it is. just in case it isn't anyone know where to get a motor.

 

Are you going to answer my quesion, or just make baseless assumptions about needing a new engine?

 

no i dont have a boost gauge in, but there is no power at all and u can usually hear the turbo

 

I guess get your ecu scanned for fault codes (you might be in limp mode even if you dont have a cel) and get a boost gauge asap.

 

im just scared to drive it. i have a boost gauge just need to put it in. am i able to check the cam chain easily or what. what exeactly should i look for?
