New Noise under the hood

[roboto_1337]

On my drive to work this morning I noticed a new noise... it sounds almost puttering. It's coming from passenger side cylinder head. What could this be? No CEL and I won't be able to connect VAG Com to it for a little bit. Possible a bad exhaust valve? bad intake valve? broken spring? There's no metallic tinging (which is a relief), but I can't put my finger on what this noise could possibly be.

Might be the intake flapper... gonna need some time to diagnose.

I'll have to do a side by side comparison... I just hope it's not the same as this story...

I was able to move the intake flapper by hand.... there lies my problem (thank God)
