Any idea what this noise is at idle?

Post by PyroVee »

Hey everyone,

I have recently noticed my scirocco (2009 TDI 2.0 170) making an unusual pulsing whirring noise (best way I can describe it) when the engine is idling. Seems to go away under acceleration but I'm not sure if it is just hidden by exhaust / tyre noise when moving. I was wondering if anyone might be able to identify what it could be and if it is something of concern. I have no fault codes nor errors on the dash.

I have attached a video of the noise in question: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9QBWlx6kYWo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Holding my phone in the driver side foot rest area, tried to make it as clear as I could but you can hear the rain on the roof.

Thanks in advance
