Sorry, but the 2.0 TFSI engine DOES have a timing chain, albeit only a dinky one, at the flywheel end of the head. The timing belt just drives the exhaust camshaft from the front of the engine, and the inlet cam is driven from the opposite end via the chain and an adjusting unit for varying the inlet cam timing! :P

Thanx TT but UKdub already pointed that out

I know a lot about this issue and it is not the normal sounds that our TFSI engines make. IE. Injectors, carbon canister, purge valve or other stuff like that. This noise that the OP is on about is the cam chain. At the moment it only seems to affect early TFSI engines (AXX). My engine sounds like a bag of nails when warm but nice and quiet when cold. Have a read of this if you havn't already.

Its quiet long and now and again a few red herrings get thrown in, but ultimatly the chain is at fault.
