my fsi does the same thing... sometimes when i start it its starts up a little rough then theres a very faint what sounds like metal on metal tink tink tink.

ive asked around a bunch on the other forums and ive come back with what could be the cam follower, some other chain that comes loose and hits its houseing? alot of ppl have the same problem tho. it bothers me but other than that it runs strong. and its only happening at idle it goes away when i give it any gas....

so good luck if u find out what it is let me know and vice versa

i forgot about the cam follower.. i remember hearing that on the FSI motors it gets run down pretty quick. ill look into that

3 things that'll make that engine noisy like that.

1. Cam follower and camshaft
2. Cam tensioner failing
3. Clogged pickup tube. Please make sure you're using vw 502/505 oils.

What was creating the noise?

ill have to check the recipt put there was an air pump or something replaced, a few other little things were also replaced but man.. it sounds really good. like when u pull up to a light i wonder if it staled out because its so quiet. i dig it, cars running great.
