!!Cured!! Suspect cam chain rattling after new chain fitted
pudding:
Hopefully it's not that, it could be a oil control ring busted as you said. A pack of those is only 40 quid, vs 10x that for the stooopid phaser!
What I would say though, if an oil control ring breaks, you normally get a 'slow response' type fault code. If it's not fault coding and just making a lot of noise, yeah, I reckon the chap in question is in for a chunky bill. Or he can get a 'MaxPeedingRods' clone for 50 quid and chance it :grin:

Diag says slow response from camshaft so oil might be sleeping through where it’s not meant to. Also noise is pretty loud when I tap the accelerator but no noise on idle. Cheers
Yeah seen the Mxrods one :drinking:
pudding:
Yeah sounds exactly like what mine's doing. If I unplug the VVT solenoid, the noise stops, so definitely either a busted oil ring or the VVT adjuster itself.
It's quiet when cold, because the oil is thicker, but when hot, rattle rattle.

As you may know that this is my old car and I treated her with lots of new goodies and care but the new owner barely drives it but I can feel ball joint rattling and loss of power since I owned her over two and a half years ago now.
Have you opened your one up to check the carbon rings on the adjuster inside the chain housing?. It might just be a case of replacing them like you said as I’ve got a set but TPS said they don’t sell them without the head :confused:
