    Dear,
    I would like to ask you for help with my problem. I changed oil and after that in cold start I think that I hear chain rattle about 1 second after start the engine. I uploaded video with the cold start. Could somebody tell me if it is so "hot" that should I change the chain and things around that or is it ok?
    I will try change the oil again (i used mobil ESP 5w-30) to Motul x-clean 8100 5w-30.
    Thank you for any suggestions.
    Sorry for my English I'm from Slovakia

    If the car is an audi a6 c6, that sound is let’s say normal. You could change all the distribution but after some time, the sound will come back. It’s a fabrication problem for this model for 2.7 and 3.0tdi and not only.

    The tensioners rely on oil pressure so a <1 sec rattle is perfectly normal on a cold start.

    When we service many of these, the noises they make on a dry start are terrifying, makes my hair stand on end!
