Hey everyone, can someone please check this short video of my Golf 6 Variant (1.4 TSI, 2012, about 137,000 km)?
Does the engine sound normal to you, or could this be timing chain or lifter noise?
Any feedback from experienced VW owners would be great!

Dawg I'm hearing like 2 layers of rattle

#

Especially the like 3 seconds of rattle right when starting it up, sounds like chain/tensioner being starved a bit

#

The rattle in the background near end of video, anyone know what that is?

Tons of vehicles have the startup rattle, it's bad for engine but lots of people don't care much

The bg rattle I'd suspect the tensioner
