sounds like some one is sawing a bit of wood in the background

True... quiet worring the joiner who dissapeared recently could be trapped in my car. I'm also concerned about the tambourine man (5,9 sec...) tbh!

What engine is that?

mic was placed at side of cambelt cover

Have you removed the cam belt cover? Well worth having a look at the condition of the belt and tensioner, plus make sure either item is not catching on anything.

 

I have had a similar noise due to the cam belt being too tight and noticed it only did it at low engine speeds and was worse when the engine was hot.

Phil, which noise do u mean?

I removed to top cambelt cover. On closer inspection there are tiny metal filings in this area.

VW changed belt 2 years ago, but they didnt bother with tensioner?

Had recent head work aswell.

When it goes in for service in next few weeks we will be investigating further, mech was keen on a sound coming from nears cambelt area tho.

 

edit

found that the bolt which holds the rear drive belt cover is missing and that the cover is touching the drive belt. I'll get that sorted c if it helps.

Carl, the noise i meant was the one similar to someone sawing wood in the background!

 

Hope replacing the missing belt helps. Make sure the belt is not damaged, if it snaps there is a very good chance of a fait amount of damage.
