TSI160 Runner 2015 under hood question.

Post by avanman »

Hello.
I'm a handyman from Australia Brisbane. My workhorse is 2015 VM Caddy Runner TSI160 1.2L

My TSI sounds like TDI for about 3 first seconds when I start it in the mornings. Can anyone tell me please, what is it? Does it require a mechanics' attention? Here's audio — https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M3k5Ik ... sp=sharing

The idle engine runs with squeaking. What should I ask a mechanic to fix, please?

Thanks. Vic

Hi mate. Those video links you’ve provided aren’t working for me. If you do take it to a garage though, I’m sure a competent mechanic will find the source of the noise.
The squeaking you described could be the serpentine belt slipping, this is the belt that drives the alternator, a/c etc.
