  1. Hi Alex removed that cover the inspection cover and measured the tensioner it's protruding approx 11.5-12mm the noise I get is like 1 out of 5 starts. How should I proceed is this really serious ? Can I Leave it and try another oil n filter change n try castrol edge 5w30 oil or ?? Am running 0w40 Mobil 1

    Also I can see 5 teeth of the chain tensioners ratchet if that helps.

  2. No problem, am running ow40 Mobil 1, the noise isn't every day but only cold starts was ok just now on cold start tho lol. What oil do you recommend I may try a oil n filter change to see if it aids things. Also can just the tensioner be replaced as if it has a spring can it weaken ? Cheers in advanced Alex

  3. On cold mornings say 3 out of 5 on cold starts I get a 2-3sec chain type noise, then I won't hear it for a day or two or sometimes next cold start. My question is will this cause issues or will it be ok for a while I suspect it's a chain or tensioner but is this sinister or are there many on the road with this issue?
