I've got an 02 Jetta with a AFP VR6 with 193,000 miles on it that has a noise in the upper engine. I have already done the intake runner repair with the upgraded bushings but I still have a bad noise like lifters rattling.
Vehicle is super clean and been babied its whole lift with proper maintenance with synthetic oil and only use Mann filters.
I know everything wears with age but it seems this noise sorta developed fairly quickly.
Are the lifters prone to fail and if so is it a difficult job to replace? or should i think about doing a complete refresh of the entire engine?
I've searched for any threads on this topic but unable to find anything about it.
Any info or at least a point in the direction of a thread on this would sure be helpful.
Thanks,
