My cam belt tensioner from cold seems to be noisey making a rubbing sound, but once the engine starts to warm, the noise vanishes to leave a slight ticking noise below 1200prm then disapears which i class that as normal and not an issue to be concerned of.

get that looked at mate while its under warranty because honestly when they took mine out the vw technician said it was almost totally worn and if i left it for too much longer it would have completely ruined the engine. nothing to do with what ukdub said by the sounds of it tho as mine was when cold like your describing phylis

My 05 plate does exactly as Bigbo describes. It sounds like its coming from behind the glove box almost and its a sort of dull tapping which is most prominent when the engines cold. Almost like plastic knocking on plastic rather than metal on metal? Its been bugging me for ages.
Is changing the chain an expensive job like the timing belt?
