I do get a slight rattle sometimes upon start up, not every time at all, very intermittent. Usually about a second long.

Hi Gareth There is no mention of the chain being changed in the service history unfortunately. I absolutely love the car and it will only cover about 4000 miles a year so I might just enjoy it for a while before rushing into selling. Thank you also for taking the time to reply Regards John

Hi Trevor Thank you for taking the time to reply. I took your advice an contacted my Audi Independent specialist to be told that to replace the cam chain is 26 hours labour! They only charge £50 an hour so god knows what it would cost at dealer?!?! I think I will be selling on, I cannot justify spending that.

Hi all I'm fairly new to ownership of this incredible car. I have been stupid as I rushed into this purchase without completing the full research. I did not realise these cars were cam chain as apposed to cam belt, these chains are also prone to failure apparently at around 100,000, my car is full service history with a book thick with receipts but I am driving it around in fear of failure rather than just enjoying it. Is there anyone on here to calm my fears or are you going to make me feel worse? My immediate thought is to sell it on but I'm not sure that I really want to let it go as it is great fun and the V8 sounds amazing. The Acceleration is mad and it looks so unassuming so you can surprise a lot of people from the lights Please feedback as I am interested in all experiences, good or bad.
