Dam !!! just had my noise diagnosed as cam chain too looks like it's gonna be expensive!

Not to best pleased only had the car 3 weeks not be able to enjoy yet.
Like the op said when i test drove it was quiet it was only on the 200 mile journey home i thought sh*t that dont sound right!
Cant wait to have it done so i can start to enjoy the car just worry about the dsg then lol

Sorry to hear it! - It's a mine field to begin with, but got mine 95% all singing and dancing and enjoying it...

Did you buy private or from a trader (with warranty)??

Don't even go there with the DSG  :signLOL: :signLOL:

Gmaster:
Private!
I'm learning more things all the time about the mk5 gti didn't know they had so many common problems, trouble is they drive so bloody well.
Going to get the cam follower checked to at the time though it was changed 20k ago so hopefully might be ok.

I'm in exactly the same position. Please let me know the outcome/bill! do you know if youre going to go with just the chain and tensioner, or are you going to get the expensive adjustor replaced as well? I'm tempted to just go chain and tensioner.

Gmaster:
Yeah no problem will do, my VAG independent is booked up for a while hopefully get it in within next couple of weeks.
I won't be using the car though don't want to risk it anymore then I have to.(luckily still have my old car at the mo)
Gonna do the lot with the adjuster don't won't to have to re do it, it's a lot of money the Mrs ain't happy!
 I'm hoping it's gonna be worth it.

Mine sounds like a diesel on idle. But then again so did my mk4 gti
