Im probably gonna get shot down and told to read old threads...

 

but..

 

somedays my vr6 is really noisey, sounds like a loose chain is flailing around inside the engine bay and it all feels horrid and loose

 

others it feels fine, no excess noise (apart from a faint chain noise mid revs but i guess thats normal for these noisey engines) and it feels nice a tight and a joy to drive.

 

so what could cause the vast difference, if its worn chain tensioner then surely it would be noisey and crap all the time?

 

ta very much

It's pre-menstrual tension. All VWs suffer from it. All you can do is go about your business and try not to make a fuss about it, cos all that does is lead to breakages and hope it clears up soon...

Start saving up to get your chains done......

His chains are fine Phat. I've listened to his engine and it's normal. He's used to Japanese refinement :wink:
