Timing chain rattle.
NB07:
i got mine sorted souds quiet as a mouse now :smiley:

i found mine got quieter after a fresh oil change.
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.

i guess that might be it, it sounds like a very quiet indicator noise but i can only hear it when its stood ticking over

indeed, nothing to worry about. Tis the norm for TFSI.
Oil tends to loose it viscosity after a while and every time ive had oil changes, shes quiet as a kitten.
Does the Valve chain use hydraulic lifters which relys on oil feed to lift or is it valve and spring/rocker etc??. Anyone know????
My old CVH engine in an old ford i had used to have hydraulic lifters, and when the oil got old and thinner, it made the valves chatter causing a rattle or Knock. Perhaps the TFSI has the same "sort of" principle??
