Re: Lifter noise normal? (spinnetti)
Nothing to worry about. Will be more noticeable when the engine is cold.
Now if it is more like a loud knock or tick, take it in for the tech to look at. This will at least show that you are concerned, and if you have a problem in the future with the engine related to this noise, you can reference your service visit regarding the engine ticking...
Get VW on your side early, otherwise the service center will most likely try to blame it on you.
