I have a 1.2E(55)....
Whenever I rev the engine the It sounds as if there is an induction kit.... 8)
but I have had NO induction kit in the past or plan to have one....

Anyways, took it to VW and they said it is a normal sound :?

Is this true????

Lol depends on the induction kit :P

If VW say its normal then im sure its fine. When i used to drive them at work, they did have a kinda throaty tinkly to them :)

Well its a bit of a strange noise....because my painter thought i had a induction kit under the bonnet......which I didn't.....it seems like the throttle body is sucking to much air.......

But if it was...would it fire an error on the dash board?????

Ye. All polos have an onboard computer monitoring the engine and exhaust system :)

If it was too much, youd get a light on the dash more than definately.
