    I'm just writing this one up to help others as this seems to be a common issue with the chained (not cambelt) 1.2 turbo petrol engined Polo 6R.

    Intermittent tractor like rattle when cold, clears after a few seconds but the time varies quite a bit.

    Several posts around the internet about smashed valves where the timing chain has jumped teeth. Also a few posts about good will fixes from the dealership with 100% of parts and 70% of labour discounts being applied.

    So I venture into the dealership near work and endure a shedload of the sales guy's waffle and after a pushy interaction (I think I annoyed him) he said they would apply a similar discount (100% parts / 60% labour). The number of £400 was produced which I agreed to on the spot as I'd got the same number out of an independent ex-VAG guy about an hour before! It took them a week to turn it around, maybe as punishment for annoying him, not that I was keen to drive it around with such a fault.

    The actual costs were listed on the "Complimentary Visual Health Check" doc they gave me. £1591.14 including VAT! The form says: "There is a TPI for this problem with modified parts needed". Apparently VW will pick up the tab for the rest.

    Here is a video (not mine) of the sound

    Actually the side cover and a bunch of other things has been replaced, maybe a good one for the dealership to handle after all.

    As the sump was removed it's a shame they didn't replace the gasket rather than stick the old leaking one one back on and just tell me about it afterwards! Sigh...
