I parked my 2003 Mexibeetle in my garage about two weeks ago and I just changed the oil in it today for the first time. I started it up to fill the filter and re-check the fluid, etc, and it now makes a loud knock. It sounds like valvetrain but I don't know. It gets faster in proportion to engine RPM. I just bought this thing, and drove it home
1700 miles with no trouble. It was fine when I parked it two weeks ago, so what the heck could an oil change have done? I used Casteroil Full Synthetic and a Fram PH2870A filter. What did I do wrong?- posted
