Do I need a new cam chain and tensioner?
« on: January 18, 2015, 02:52:44 pm »
Hi,

When I start my gti it sounds like it's a diesel, even though it's not. I have read this May be because I need a new chain and tensioner? Is this true? I just replaced the cambelt like 3miles ago...

Did the problem start after the belt was changed?

Maybe timing is slightly out.
How hard can it be?
