Hi, I drive a edition 30 gti notice a rattle from the engine area, sound more like from the chain area and it sounds like a loose chain has anyone ever witnessed something like this before, can it be hydraulic tappets? Thanks!
Rattle can be heard in the attachments

The car got a new cam follower just before I bought it from vw, sounds like it's coming from the timing chain area, is it common for the tensioners to go?
