    Hey guys, I'm assuming the lot of you will already know or have seen plenty about this and will be able to help me correctly diagnose this. I am expecting it to be the timing chain, but am not 100% sure and am worried it might be worse than that.

    I bought a Golf 6, 1.4tsi 122 hp with 113,000kms on the clock. The car is in great shape aside from what I suspect is as you expect, a timing chain rattle.
    Now, normally I would just drive my car to a garage for the diagnosis, however here in The Netherlands, garages are often massively overbooked and I won't get a slot until August the 20th, as ridiculous as that sounds. I also need the car a lot earlier than that.

    I have recorded several videos for the purpose of diagnosing said issue.

    Cold startup: - YouTube
    Cold startup rev: - YouTube
    Warm startup: - YouTube
    Warm startup rev: - YouTube
    Driving after warmup: - YouTube

    The noise is present on idle and when accelerating, not when decelerating. Don't know if that means anything.

    If there are any tests or things I can do to further diagnose the issue myself on hand, please let me know and I'll try them pretty much right away.
