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.

Yes, oil is all clean and always has been with oil change every 5k. Car still runs well, originally sorted by Fahad at Premier tuning. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Fahad, yes I can live with it, doesn't need nursing yet! Hope you are well by the way :)
