MK5 Golf 1.9tdi - knocking occasionally. My Mk5 Golf 1.9 TDI is starting to occasionally make a knocking noise. When I accelerate the knocking increases and turns more into rapid tapping whilst the car shakes. It normally goes back to normal after 10-15 minutes (not always) and most of the time the car is completely normal and runs perfect.

The power can literally be completely there, and then completely not there. It isn't limp mode as power can literally come and go with the press of the accelerator.
Re: Remap on high mileage? « Reply #7 on: February 10, 2013, 10:44:41 pm ». I have no problems with the engine longevity, the issue is more with the clutch. A remap places more strain on the clutch, so if this is tired it can quickly show itself along with a vibrating DMF.
