There are so many videos out there illustrating chain wear noise on a cdti and theyre all so different.

Mine isnt anywhere as near as bad as the worst ones I've heard, but of course its not as quiet as one thats had its chains done.

Mines a Dec 2007 on 111k and it feels like it's got louder since the summer. The question is how loud is too loud? Its still a quiet diesel engine by comparison to the Volvos ive had.

I think it sounds ok for the mileage but the videos out there give me paranoia. Your expertise and experience is welcome. Link below

Its hard to hear and comment on sound through videos as the audio tends to be compressed and can manipulate the sound somewhat.

Does sound ok to me, not much of a chain rattle

When was the last oil service and how often is the oil changed?

I would recommend changing the oil and see if it improves things.

I would agree though, the i-ctdi engine is still by todays standards a very quiet diesel engine.
