VR6 strange noise

[VW VR6]

What oil did you use????? You might have a sticky hydraulic tensioner causing the chains to rattle, especially if it was ok before you changed the oil. If it has been getting crap oil previously or lack of and you put some nice stuff in you can shove the crap everywhere. The chain tensioner has little ports in it that can get clogged. Could be a noisy lifter or lifters. If it was the chain or guides it probably would have noisy already. Yeah i dont think the flush was a flash idea especially up the ks

Is the noise like a whistling noise which lots of trucks make?cause mine was doing this and it needed a new fan belt which wasn't much fuss at all.

I know my friend but Jmac is a best mechanic in Brisbane. I beleive his job 100%. I was visited about 20 mechanics in Brisbane and nobody know what is wrong with my engine. Jmac just open the bonnet and for 10 sec said what is wrong. Strongly recommended.

I open my engine cover and plastic chain tensioner is broken and chain is moving about 10-15mm up/down and make noise. Time for big change. Picture comming soon.

Interesting thread. I've seen pics of a timing chain change on vwvortex, fascinating.
