Hi guys once again I'm back with this rather annoying noise, fine all that was advised. Cam tensioner and oils changed. Engine is silent at cold start, only rattles like a tractor when warm I've managed to upload a clip any help or suggestions greatly appreciated thanks IMG_8652.MOV

You're not kidding Brad ! Lol ive had no work on the injectors 😢

I've had the car five years and always used the better fuel. Is the fact it's silent on cold start significant in any way ? Cheers brad

The car now it's had the cam chain tensioner drives like a dream, it is slightly rough only on the odd occasion at idle. Mpg I'm not sure because I haven't got it back yet. I've noticed no smoke, and the rattle is coming from cam BELT area but he assures me all is good with that. At cold start the engine is silent, I'd say brand new, but when it's warm it rattles. If the problem was serious would it not drive as well as it does. It's only done 74k but the Audi specialist even commented on how well it drives !

Thank once again Brad, like I say it didn't go in to the garage with the rattle. I'm just worried can I drive it ?!?!?

Thank you very much for you're reply Trevor. Very much appreciated. My car has been at an independent specialist having the cam tensioner changed. It makes this noise when warm not at cold start, it wasn't there before it went in and the oil was changed. I'm just worried that I've paid £800 to have it fixed only to inherit another problem. It's driving me crazy !

hi people, new to the forum, hoping to find out what this !Removed! noise is. First of all this is not my engine but it's the same noise. Now some history... has the cam chain tensioner changed due to CEL on, that cured that, had timing belt area checked all ok, had it at a specialist and he is stumped, reckons it's coming from vac pump but changed that and it's still there. Many help would be seriously appreciated guys !
