Odd noise from engine

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

You may not want to hear this, but I had a similar noise on my 1.6 in my
first mk1. I was told it was the rod bearing(s).

Not long after that, I upgraded to the JH and thus my roller-coaster journey
into Scirocco modification begun!  :)
