knock on the engen

Post by thebet »

Hi, I'm driving a polo tdi 1.9 2005 model. There is a heavy noise coming from the engen and there's oil coming out of the seal. Before this happened the was a signal for low oil pressure but when when I checked there was enough oil. What could be the Problem?

Something major. Take it to a qualified mechanic or VW ASAP!

From what seal exactly? From what part of the engine does the noise come from?

Rather buy a good quality part that will last then buying a cheap part that won't last.
