Turbozx got a good point! If d guy who serviced ur car put in cheap oil, ur vw wil do that. Vws nd mazdas r very sensitive on ther oil, il recomend u to use shell helix super or plus nd if its got over 200000ks, use helix high milage. * +

I dnt know wats ur 8v theory bt any cars lifters cud get noisy.. Even a 24v! Bout pinging, its caused by bad combustion.. The unburnt airfuel mixture causes an afterburn nd that makes the noise. Its usualy caused by incorrect ignition timing or a motor busy overheating. *
