3.2 engine "sniffing"

[therealpigdog]

Any thoughts / is this likely to be expensive?

2006 3.2 TT with DSG (if that makes any difference) and 36k on the clock, due a service this week.

Yesterday and today I have noticed it is not idling smoothly, and popped the bonnet to have a look. Best described as an occasional sniffing noise and the engine rocking in its mounts.

Obviously I'll get the dealer to check it out, but any thoughts on what it might be or cost to fix?

Car is going up for sale after the service so has to be right - just wary of more expense on a car I won't be keeping.

Cheers

coil pack

Does sound like a coilpack or a vacuum hose is split or come off.

One thing to note is that it will be due a DSG oil and filter change and a haldex service at 40k miles which is in the region of £250 at a dealer. Bear that in mind when it comes to agreeing a price. Plugs are also changed at 40K as well.

I've been quoted £270 for the service plus haldex and dsg oil changes - total of £500 before I even think of the coil pack - am I being ripped off?

Want to keep main dealer stamp really as am about to sell.

£270 sounds about right for a service including plugs from a main dealer.
