So I've been noticing a couple things lately on my '09 GTi. (TSI) With the windows down, I can hear a whining noise when I accel. It follows the rpm of the engine, so it will also happen parked and revving the engine. Also, when cruising in gear, if I let off the accelerator it takes a few seconds for the overrun to kick in. Like, the RPM's will hang for a few seconds, then you can feel the engine braking begin. No CEL, not sure if any hidden fault codes. Can the CEL check at Autozone tell me anything, or do I need to spend $100 for the VW dealer to do it?
I thought I read somewhere that a faulty diverter valve could be the cause, but wanted to get a few opinions first.
Last, when's the recommended mileage that the timing chain tensioner be replaced? Car has 54k miles.
Thanks!
