Scirocco 1.4 TSI Twincharge strange chirping noise

Post by ZeeWan »

Hello. I need help in diagnosing the chirping noise coming from the engine bay of my car. It has a CTS Turbo Cold Air Intake, GFB DV+ and a Jetex Quad catback exhaust.

Recently, I noticed the noise and it's driving me nuts. It happens intermittenly on idle, randomly after upshifting of the gears (DSG) and pressing the accelerator at low rpm between 1000 - 1500 rpm.

When the noise comes on, the engine rpm dropped slightly.

Here's the link to a video posted by me. Pardon my recording as I was trying to record the exhaust note and the noise happens to be present. I will try to record it from the engine bay but that would be a challenge as the sound comes on randomly.

Thanks!
