Vw 1.4 engine noise (knocking sound) and oil light

Post by Benna1 »

Hi guys need help


Started the car this morning got a loud warning/ flash engine oil light beeping and before i could pull off i heard the engine knocking (sounds like valves /pistons as if they want to jumping out the engine . (MP9 fuel injection )


please advise ?

Please help what to do stripping and replacing with new rings /pistons /valves /doing complete timing ? taking head to engineers /compression test ?

well it sounds like your oil pump has failed - and due to low oil pressure - you now have a bearing knock

does a engine get a bearing knock that quick, didn't think it will happened that quick after a pump failure, thought you could still drive the car like a couple of km's

Start pulling things apart if you are capable or ask the guys for recommendations to find a trusted mech in your area.
