    Hi,

    I have a 03 Plate mk4 GTI 2.0 8v and every now and again there is a ticking noise coming from a small plastic thing near the front of the engine bay, just behind the headlight. There is a hose coming from the throttle body to it. Is this an EGR valve? and also is it normal to be ticking so loud after driving or running at idle for a few mins?
