Hi, A "friend" of mine ran their 99 mk2 with low oil (read: this could mean none) for some time. It was eventually noticed when the engine started making noises. Oil was added and it still running. I took it for a spin at the weekend, it accelerates + idles fine, no noises, but when lifting off or *just* slightly applying trottle it makes a cyclic deep click noise. Its been suggested that the crank is done for, but it sounds more top end to me.. actually.. the engine feels pretty strong. I suspect its had its engine wrung out on a regular basis too ;-)
What should I be looking at first here? What kind of damage? Likely the noise is crank floating back and forth? Cheers, Steve
