Hi Michael,
Could this noise be coming from the catalytic converter? If some of the ceramic internals has deteriorated and has cracked and become loose, it could produce this noise corresponding to any exhaust fluctuations.
One would need to remove the cat and shake it to test this out.

Ben
It's a 91 T3 Syncro thats why I'm in the group and I don't think theere are any auto syncro's out there. I agree with you about the AFM and the hall sender. The mechanic has been all over the car and cannot see any metal on metal rattle, but to me thats what it sounds like. Brian Reed and many on the Shallow Crossing meet heard this sound, but after finding then eliminating what was thought to be the culprit various nuts and pieces of tin attached to the main engine block (part heat shield around exhaust), the noise was still there.
About two days before this noise was first noticed, I crossed a river with a very steep approach and slightly less steep departure angle. On the departure the rear end bottomed out on the ground/rock with a loud bang. Got out to check for damage,nothing visible, put it down to the tow bar bottoming out on the steepish departure angle. Brian is of the opinion that maybe the engine mounts may have been knock out of kilter setting up a possible vibration/tapping/knocking sound. This sound is not present with engine idling or cruising along at say 75kmp along the flat, but as soon as the engine is under load in come the pots and pans. Get to the top of the hill and coast down or put in the clutch or put her into Gods gear and noise gone.

The nomenclature is quite confusing. From the outset, VAG used “Type” to distinguish between their model range:
It got complicated when the curved windscreen Kombi replaced the split windscreen Kombi. Whilst VAG applied a new model number to the curved screen Kombi, it never really caught on and it was generally referred to as the T2. When the T2 was replaced by the T3, the same applied.
Phill has a good knowledge of all the VAG models and will give you/us the correct information. It comes down to VAG applying the word “Model” (I think that the T3 is in fact the Model 25) while the rest of the world pursued the illogical path of referring to a Type 2 (Kombi range) as T2, T3, T4, etc.

Hi Michael,
Could this noise be coming from the catalytic converter? If some of the ceramic internals has deteriorated and has cracked and become loose, it could produce this noise corresponding to any exhaust fluctuations.

It's a 91 T3 Syncro thats why I'm in the group and I don't think theere are any auto syncro's out there. I agree with you about the AFM and the hall sender. The mechanic has been all over the car and cannot see any metal on metal rattle, but to me thats what it sounds like. Brian Reed and many on the Shallow Crossing meet heard this sound, but after finding then eliminating what was thought to be the culprit various nuts and pieces of tin attached to the main engine block (part heat shield around exhaust), the noise was still there.
About two days before this noise was first noticed, I crossed a river with a very steep approach and slightly less steep departure angle. On the departure the rear end bottomed out on the ground/rock with a loud bang. Got out to check for damage,nothing visible, put it down to the tow bar bottoming out on the steepish departure angle. Brian is of the opinion that maybe the engine mounts may have been knock out of kilter setting up a possible vibration/tapping/knocking sound. This sound is not present with engine idling or cruising along at say 75kmp along the flat, but as soon as the engine is under load in come the pots and pans. Get to the top of the hill and coast down or put in the clutch or put her into Gods gear and noise gone.

Ben,
Yes, indeed!
While I was writing that, I also had in mind the fact that I once owned a 1972 Type 2, T2, with a Type I 1.6 litre engine, which I later replaced with a 2.0 litre Type IV engine . . . but I thought that the waters were already muddy enough!!!

Les,
You forgot to mention the wonderful world of VW engine types.
Type II T1 had a Type I engine
Type II T2 did as well until they stuck a
Type IV engine in it in 1972
Type II T3 started w/ the Type IV
before getting the WBX
It's my understanding that some T25's can be had with a Type I engine.
