hiya all little advice needed please,
first off wen the car has been stood say over nite wen it comes to start up, ther is a sort of wining noise that lasts for say 5 seconds then goes away, am i right in thinking this is just whilst oil is reaching the charger bearings,
and secondly i took the boost return piping off today and were it returns through rocker cover its bone dry and spottles not a drop of oil shuld i be worryed, i did have the engine totaly striped and cleaned 4 month ago ???.
Every Polo I've ever had or driven always makes like a moaning noise for a couple of seconds on start up from cold. If its always done it I wouldnt worry about it.
yeah, all mk2 and mk3 polos make that noise when cold in my experience, not sure if it's the water pump or oil pump that actually does it.
my moneys on the oil pump, i'd be a little scared if it was the water pump,
mine makes it but thats only cos i run mine once a week
waw thanx every one,
so ever since i hav had it its made it but i havent had it so long haha but ye sounds normal to me its just something that the oil needs to get to to quiten down just thought id check,
and no my cranck case breather is still connected as my boost return is, and wen i had engine in bits the little filter in the block was checked and that was clear, but yes mine is bone dry inside my return pipe dont no wether i shuld be worryed :-\
thanx for all the replays

just wondering. mines on 175k and its breathing heavy!
I get that on startup.
I beleive its to do with the fuel pumps as when my mate started it up the noise was coming from the rear.
Just a guess but it could be the pump building up the correct pressure of fuel after startup?
ye jezza u can hear the pump pressuring, but my noise is quite abit lowder than that haha but i no wat ya mean cheers, dont think im guna worry about it
It almost sounds like chewy from Star Wars.
