Door_1980 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi guys picked up a mk1 arosa earlier today in excellent nick and low miles, with only 68k on her. Driving it for the first proper time (gave her a test run before buying and all seemed fine) and the following faults, problems are...1. when I put my foot to the floor in 3/4/5 gear there sounds like a vibration from the engine????2. when I turn the key once (before the second click to start car) there is like a very low, dull pitch of a sound coming from the engine which is on for about 15 seconds then goes away???3. now (more recent) I am finding when I start the car, after couple of minutes there is a severe vibration coming from the engine, as if something is caught i.e. like a wire,,???Can someone please help???

Door_1980 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Guys could the wining noise when I turn the key one click be the fuel pump?And if so, is this something to worry about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 The whine is the fuel pump...It should also do it after you've unlocked the doors if you have central locking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbo Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thats great, glad thats confirmed.What about the vibration when I put my foot down to the floor? probably kicks in at approx 3000rpm...Check your engine mounts, think i've read MikeM posting about this problem, may only be with gti's but worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arousa Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thats great, glad thats confirmed.What about the vibration when I put my foot down to the floor? probably kicks in at approx 3000rpm...My arosa 'vibrates' @ 25k-30k revs. it didnt when i first bought it. I put it down to that being the point i change gear and constant pressure in the exhaust at that point has caused it?!Just a theory though........
