Loud clicking noise from engine

[dazza]

But will it cure the noise. Also is it at risk of failing completely if not changed?

I hope they would pay for it as I have only had the car a month and not only that, it also had a broken rear spring 
Thank you for everyone's help

Well gti mk5 tend to be a bit tappet like neways but if it is that your should sound completely different yh it can snap then it would do a lot more damage...I've been quoted all in £500 for cambelt kit waterpump chain and tensioner to be done I'm gettin that done soon as poss!!

where is that, as I seen that just the cam chain and tensioner alone is normally more than £700?

So is this noise normal? If not is it the cam chain and tensioner?

That sounds like mine so I would say it sounds like chain and tensioner always better to see/hear in person I'm doing mine cos it's loud and doesn't sound anything like tappets etc

I think I am going to get this done sooner rather than later as I don't want to have to repair a bust engine

If you do get it done can you take some before and after audio. I would be interested to hear the difference.

Also any DIYs for this?

[Yorkie92]

Yeah I'll do a sound clip for it, I am going to ask the place I bought it from to do this but they want me to bring the car to them (3hrs away  )

[dazza]

I might have a go at this myself.

Cant find a diy this is the best i can find.

What are the chances of me fu*king it up if i use the cam shaft locking tool??

[dazza]

Are these the part numbers needed for AXX engines??

chain -      part no. 06D109229B
tensioner - part no. 06F109217A
gasket -    part no. 06D103121B
seal -        part no. 06E127248
gasket -     part no. 06F103483D

Anyone have a link to a kit with the cam shaft locking tool?

Just listened to the audio clip - sounds like the usual HPFP / injector noise that most of them seem to have.

Now, obviously it's difficult to isolate and investigate a noise from an audio clip over the internet - and no one would not want you to fail to do essential repairs - but I would get a second opinion from someone who has a lot of experience of these notoriously noisy engines, before I set out on PiTY / expensive job.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your input. My past experience with the dealerships in Spain has been poor. The local garages are worse. I'm on my own with this one.

We will soon see all the parts and tools have been ordered.

Ok - best of luck.
Hope that sorts it.
