Bought a 95 TT and going through some things on my journey to get things right for it before summer.

The video below around halfway through you can hear the engine on the left side making a winding or ticking noise. I am trying to pinpoint what this may be. I am also getting a knock sensor 34 code if its related...boost is capped.

Also the car has troubles starting whether cold or hot. It starts up very very sluggishly... it turns for 5 seconds then very slowly catches and it raises the rpm from 0-500 afterwards. Then it will take it up to 800ish and keep a very smooth idle so no issues there. This issue is also totally random, sometimes it starts up immediately and other times it will be very sluggish.

Scan readings screenshot if this gives any insight:

Is there a way I can also confirm whether or not the sports suspension works as intended? Is there any noise or test that I can do? Reason is that sports vs touring is very identical and there is no visual or other feedback to let me know if its working. The suspension is very "floaty" in both modes.

Any thoughts or steps forward would be appreciated :)
