Thoughts on this one please gents . . .swmbos 2011 i10   while the lump is not noisy  . . its got this irritating clicking noise .  Had the old "listening stick" out as initially thought it was noisy hydraulic tappets . . . . but no  the noise , as proved by the listening stick is 100% coming from each injector. Move the listening device each side of the injectors onto the head & there is just the usual wirring of the cams etc going on .

So are  injectors usually this noisy?  . . .are they fubared ?. . .or is it just this tin pot car ?
seems a common issue on these  . .so forums say . Forum answer is "Just live with it "
any help advice greatfully received

How about some high quality sound deadening on the bonnet? Injectors do 'click' when they fire, you haven't heard them before over a noisy engine

The petrol 6 cylinder 3.6 VAG lump sounds like a rough arsed diesel at idle because the injectors are so loud
