Audi A6 3.0 TFSI 2009 - engine ticking
Hi all,
Just been to look at a replacement daily - and very nice it is too. The only problem was that the engine (V6) has a ticking sound from the rear of the top end. It was intermittant but cold or warm it was there - like dropping a small ball bearing on the head. I've googled but nothing too conclusive was thrown up. The car's clearly been stood for a while Anyone any experience of this? |

It's probably because some of the valves are not closing properly due to the common TFSI excessive carbon build up...
"Google" search VAG TFSI engine problems, carbon build up, de-coke etc...

Clearly more investigation needed. Shame really 'cos I'm sold on it otherwise. Decisions decisions. |
