NewbridgeJob 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Right, just had my chains done and on the way home from the garage I notices that there is still a bit of rattle there It's loads and loads better than before but was just wondering if they'll get any quieter as I use them more? Does it take a bit for the oil to fully circulate around everything Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted November 30, 2010 starting up from cold yea the tappets sound abit noisey ,but within 5 seconds or so the oil will reach them and the engine should be quiet .how many miles are on the car ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted November 30, 2010 the chain tensioner bolt needs to be primed before fitting and the tappets need oil in them to circulate, which i hope your garage did. If thats ok, then its just a question of oil filling all the galleries again so it'll likely quiten down once it all warmed up and circulating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbridgeJob 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Doesn't appear to be a tappet sound it's deffo the chains I know they're meant to make a bit noise so perhaps I'll just see how it goes They're a VW specialist so I assume they'd have known to re prime the bolt but I'm taking it back to them to sort a drop link so maybe I'll get them to have a look at it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
