Title: Help needed Salisbury
Post by: Rhop1992 on March 28, 2016, 12:49:29 pm

Is there anybody in or around the Salisbury area that will be able to come and have a look at my mk5 gti and possibly give me some advice on what condition the cam chain setup is in

If it rattles when up to temperature then look into getting it replaced ASAP.
as for looking at the chain if your going to do that you might as well fit a new chain as the labour time isn't much different for an inspection compared to replace.

I haven't noticed it rattle when up to temperature to be honest, but there is occasionally a slight rattle on start up so just wanted to get somebody to have a listen and give me their opinion, it's just I had a scare a few weeks ago when my pick up pipe was blocked and had to be recovered whilst on my way to work. Just a precaution really thanks for the reply
