While we are talking about not filling with confidence, has anyone who has had the mod done, had the problem return? I reckon that on occasion I can still hear the rattle ever-so-slightly on startup. not nearly as bad as it was though but its not 100% gone imho.My Car(s): 2011 6R TSI Comfortline (Pepper Silver),
If you're in need of any 6n1 parts, odds are that I am going to have them (dismantling 2 at the moment) -
I've had the mod done and I heard the familiar rattle on startup recently. The mod was done 6 months ago and the rattle seems to be back already.Originally posted by pontiff View PostComment

Well I suspected mine was on its way out since I bought the car a month ago- a bit of a rattle on maybe 20% of cold starts?
Last night, boom tischk, chain rattling it's little heart out and it won't stop. *sigh*

Not necessarily so. I would take it to VW and try your damnedest to get them to cover it as its not an uncommon fault its something they knew about and are not active enough at resolving (imho)Originally posted by Gaffman View Post
Find the actual part of the act that mentions it, but surely a timing chain should be 'fit for purpose' a hell of a lot longer than 100,000kms.. BELTS i can understand, they need to be changed, but we are talking about a CHAIN! should be lifetime of the vehicle?My Car(s): 2011 6R TSI Comfortline (Pepper Silver),

^^^^ what he says^^^
ACCC websites says what your statutory rights are. At worst, VW should cover parts & a % of the labourcarandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

My car was a year out of warranty, serviced regularly at my local mechanic and VW covered 100% labour and 70% parts. I think you'll be fineOriginally posted by trive2 View PostComment

I think diagnostic fees were around 160 and the cost of parts worked out to be 100 something.Originally posted by JexL View PostComment

Just letting everyone know how I went!
Recap: Two years out of warranty, third owner, Full Service History BUT 2 non-VW services, 108,000km.
My chain rattle escalated suddenly and the car was undriveable, but it didn't skip teeth. I spoke to my local VW dealership who was EXCELLENT, could not have been more impressed. The day they got the car they called me back and said VW was paying 50% under goodwill! I did have a little bit of help from within though, which may or may not have made the difference.
It's costing me $660 for the UPDATED repair (as of two weeks ago the repair now includes a tensioner replacement which it did not before), which includes an oil change and a good look over of the car- this cost also incorporates the $155 diagnostic fee.
I am EXTREMELY happy.Comment

I have got the rattle again, and it has only been 9 months and I have driven 17,500 km. I might have to take it in again.
The receipt mentions the part has a 2 year warranty, so hopefully it should be ok.

I moved around one of the fuel lines and ever since then I haven't had the rattle on start up. I don't know if this is just a coincidence, so I will check it out over the next week or so and will keep you posted.Originally posted by pontiff View PostComment

I finally had mine done about two weeks ago just before the warranty finished and on 44k. My rattle was only very intermittent though.Current: 2018 Golf GTI Original | Manual | Tornado Red

Hey all,
Quite interested in this thread as it sounds as if I am experiencing the same thing.
In April this year I took ownership of a Polo 81tsi Manual. Not a thing out of place with it. At around 5,000km I started noticing quite a loud rattle on start-up and it predominantly occurs when it's a colder morning or night.
So sounds identical to what you all described.
Does the 81tsi engine differ in any way that may mean that it's a different issue?
Or is it the same engine?
