Do any of you knowledgeable chaps think it is worthwhile having a new timing chain on my 187000 estate ? The car is great and I can live with it but the chain is noisy. All opinions welcome, thanks, Rod.
 
Two chains.


I only have the Mk7 but have you tried a full oil change (flush/filter/cheap oil/drain oil/filter and recommended oil ) ?

About £90 but it will tell you if the previous owners scrimped on servicing or a tensioner is sticking, before spending upwards of a thousand.

Worthwhile ?

Of course, what was your earlier car ?

I wouldn’t bother with the expense and try and live with it as long as you can.. maybe try some additives to help quieten it down.
