My '06 sounds really quite 'diesely' when warm and after research have concluded it needs a new cam chain and tensioner (Hopefully not adjuster too!). I've been quoted by Midland VW (with genuine parts) to do:
£895: updated cam adjuster housing, cam shaft adjuster, cam chain, cam chain tensioner and the oil pump pick up pipe
or
£360: chain and tensioner.
Without taking the car down there they've suggested I do the bigger job, but is it necessary? Thanks :smiley:

How many miles has the car done? As they are pretty noisy on idle do to the injectors.

Based in Nottingham. Took mine to lindleys. Just under £400 with genuine parts.

115k, you can hear it inside and outside the car, I'm sure it's not right...

Bit more than I was hoping for if I'm honest! I don't know whether to bring it back to Evans Halshaw, I just feel they'll say there's nothing wrong with it. I guess I want reassuring that if the chain snaps a few months down the line, I'll be able to get it repaired under consumer rights act etc.

If it's a knock knock chug chug type of noise it'll be the chain. Injectors make more of a ticking noise.

Does anybody have any experience in these parts failing? I just don't know if this should be urgent or something to get around to in a few months?
