I know this has been asked a lot of times but I still want input from other people.
So I have a 2005 Mk5 GTI with AXX engine I believe and it is making noises that I don't think is normal for a petrol engine.
I just got the car 2 months ago and did roughly 6,000kms so far, car is now sitting at 97,XXX km.
I did some research and it's all pointing at the timing chain on the right side of the engine which I don't think has been replaced before.
I will be replacing the timing chain in a few weeks, but I'm wondering if the diesel-like noise is normal for these engines?
Here's a video I took while car is warm and idling.
Thanks in advance!
