Cam chain, tensioner... How to determine adjuster??

<< < (6/11) > >>

Pesky jones:
You have a cam belt (a belt) on one side of the cam shaft (one side of the engine) and on the other side of the cam shaft you have a cam chain(chain)

So both...

Haha great thanks mate. What side is the chain and tensioner on?

If you're looking at the engine the chain and tensioner etc are on the right hand side, but they have a cover on so you won't be able to see them. It's near the fuel pump if you know where that is.

You can physically see the cambelt on the left hand side of the engine, well part of it

graham-gti:
Wicked thanks. I have a bit of a tapping noise from the top left side :/

It could just be the injectors. The tfsi injectors make that sort of noise. As far as I'm aware the best way to distinguish the injector noise from the bad chain, tensioner etc noise is

If it's is a higher pitch tapping that you can hear from the front of the car and from the engine then it is probably the injectors which is normal

If you get in the car with the doors closed and the car is up to temp, and it is a deeper noise you can hear which is seperate from the injector noise then it is the chain etc.

Hope that makes sense. It may be wrong but that's what I've been led to believe
