my daughter called me to let me know the car was making some strange noises... I got a quick chance to look at it... it makes this noise when you put the key in the ignition and turn the key to the ON position... I don't know if it continues to make the noise while the car is running but when you shut the engine off it continues to make the clacking sound for a few moments as well.
it's on the passenger side of the engine near the fuel filter/distributor stuff, it sounds like the fuel pump from from what I can hear but all the info I'm finding is the '09 and later TDIs
this is a 2005 jetta TDI 1.9l any help on where to look further would be amazing... note that in the vid I say crank it but she never goes beyond turning the key to the on position... I'll have to look at it more in the daylight
