Remap!! Or sought cam chain?

(1/3) > >>

acko2204:
As title suggests, I’m basically ready to go Stage 1+ with R-Tech after contacting them..mods are :- precat deleted, millers Nanodrive 5w40, new Rev G diverter valve, new PCV valve and cam follower & pipercross panel filter.

R-Tech to map and fit Autotech HPFP at same time, but I crnt get past thinking about getting my cam chain and tensioner being sorted first (plus cam adjuster if needed) car has Cam belt & waterpump change on 65k but no history of new cam chain and car has just ticked over 80k miles

acko2204:
Car is ‘56 reg Golf GTi BWA and has a remap from VRT in slough by previous owner while completely standed guise, I’ve done all other mods stated above myself since my ownership!

colesey:
Can I ask why you feel the cam chain is needed? Is it noisy?

acko2204:
Not really, not too bad at all compared to reviews I’ve read & vids on YouTube I’ve seen...car is quiet’ish once warm! First cold start has a 2-3 second what I’d describe as a chain slap like it’s not tensioned properly (this started since bad weather kicked in)..after that first start though car is fine and starts on the button until cold start following day

Probably me being over cautious, just thought I’d see what others input would be & hopefully sway my decision  :happy2:

I wouldn’t say it needs doing before your remap but I would get it done in the future just for proactive maintenance. The noise I got before I did mine was like a ticking noise when the engine was warm and sat inside the car.
