Rs3 8p timing chain rattle?

[arron1995]

I started my car a couple weeks ago and accidentally blipped the throttle while it was on cold start and got this horrible rattle that I can produce every time, it now does it for a split second when first cranking the car. Does this sound like the chain? Thanks

My hearing is not good, so I cannot judge or comment on it.

What I will say, is that any vehicle making any unusual noises is trying to tell you something. 
If it were mine, I would be getting this assessed by a trusted local independent without delay. 
Please let us know how you get on Arron. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi mate I’m positive it’s the chain, however I haven’t had it done yet as it is an expensive job, around £3000, I do have warranty but it’s with warranty wise and their reviews are shocking

Wow that's an expensive job but if it saves the engine suppose it will have to done at some point 😪
