Mk5 GTI cam chain rattle, your experiences
Discussion
Afternoon chaps. I am wondering if I may ask for your experiences with Mk5 GTIs.
Mine is an 06, coming up to 100k and When it gets warm through there is a slight knock/tappy noise. I am aware that the cam chain and tensioner loosen up a little over the life of the engine and this can cause the noise as described about but I have also heard it can be the injectors that can be heard..
Which is it? It is service time, I am looking to get a big service done including belts, tensioners and the water pump (and a clutch too for peace of mind) so I am trying to find a definitive answer regarding this potential cam chain/tensioner issue. Obviously, I would prefer to get everything done at the same time to save a couple of quid on labour and also prevent my car from having to be dissembled more than once.
Does anybody have any experiences regarding this?
All input greatly appreciated.

I've just checked the book and the belt isn't due for two years and the water pump was done at the same time in 05/2012.
I feel like a bit of a bell end for missing this information but I'm also chuffed that I don't need to get it done at the moment
Potentially daft question here, would they still be able to change the chain and tensioner from the bottom end without taking the belt off too?
Also, does anybody have a rough idea of the cost of a clutch change?

This was the sound mine made prior to changing - http://youtu.be/53owar8YGE0
What engine is it? Normally only the AXX gives chain problems and the BWA tends to be fine.
Cambelt needs to be done now if it hasn't been done yet
They are very tappy by nature and my 06 sounded a bit rough at idle with 100k miles on the clock. I just lived with it as sounded good on the move and drove well.

Has anyone got a link to the tfsi pdf that the above image was taken from for the EA113.
I'm trying to find the technical info but only seem to be able to find a 1.8 or EA888 version.
Cheers
