I have noticed the timing chain on our iCTDi Tourer has started to get noisy on cold start recently
2005 FHSH, 80k miles. Distinctive 'chainy' noise listening at OSF wheel area.
The car has been listened to by my local main agent dealer (when warm) & they couldn't here anything out of the ordinary. They want to listen again when cold- it's just gonna be a bit of hassle
Thing is as a (soon to be) licenced aircraft engineer my techie ear is more sensitive than most- & I'm sure the level of general noise (if not a rattle) indicates a level of wear.
I have compared my car to my brothers 06 civic iCTDi (106k) & his chain is silent in comparison
I have made a short video from cold start- would appreciate any 'expert' opinion please. I think it's noisy!
