Strange ticking noise on '06 Gti. Only on idle

If this rattle appears once up to running temperature don't rule out the cam chain tensioner.

Guys, it took some time, mostly because my mech is flat out these days, but gt this sorted recently. Changed the belt and tensioner. Alt was fine. Rattle gone now. :D
Did a forte flush and filled with millers. She sounds great again except the standard chain sound. Fk knows when i can get around to this, but 46k so not worried yet.

I need a new lower engine mount as The oem rubber has split. Can i get the stock gti one from tps, or does anyone know of uprated better versions? Is there any other reason the mount could have gone on a 46k other then a good/hard life (must stay positive)

So it was the tensioner after all that 

superpro dog bone insert, power flex or a vibra technics mount

Thanks r5,
I took your advice on the engine/tranny mounts and ordered a pair aswell. The order is fked up as the tossers didnt even have them in stock and still let me order them. Long story short she turned 10 this weekend and all i could do was try n wash her between snowshowers. But she does look good :D

I know weather's been crazy like all four seasons on one 

Glad you got one part sorted out at the least.

Tell me about it, someone  people out there just wanting your money and then having you wait and wait and wait ff* what a holes. 

Did you order the vibra technics ones?.    and so jealous :-(

[raz469]

Jealous of what? Your cars still better then mine. And 034s won't make it worse will they? 

I went for them in the bay and oem/ powerflex underneath. Im so broke its a joke but hopefully once i get my overhead light switch there nothing urgent and i can sit and squirm for a couple months knowing shes stock.

I ordered them well in advance and only when i phoned them did they tell me its another 3 weeks. I wouldn't have minded if they told me before i paid for them. Sometimes people just ruin it for eachother.

Anyway on my way out for some burfday drinks. cheers pal

Because I want a set of those top mounts too 
I shouldn't think they'd make it worse.
No I wouldn't say my car's better but thankfully all working apart from maybe the intake runner may need attention as I got a Mil light on last night so will see what happens when I next drive her.
I know the feeling when you've just spent mega change on car parts only to find out your not getting then because the seller is out of stock  ow silly are they and you should have demanded a fund refund and gone else where tbh. I ordered off a perfermance company some years back and waited a full 10 days before I found out they didn't even know about the online order so demanded my money back even thought it took an extra 3-5 working days to clear after messing me about  bas*****.

Anyways have fun and don't drink too much red bull
