    Ticking engine noise on B6S4???

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi i have bought a B6S4 2004 and had it inspected by a certified mechanic ,he told me my tensioner chain will have to be changed because of the ticking noise.
    Is this a normal sound for B6S4 ?? Its coming from the engine bank right side.
    Ive ask some other mechanic and they told me the tensioner chain don't have to be changed.

    Anyone knows what this problem could be??

    Thanks

    Check your injectors on that bank. Mine did the same thing and we replaced one

    injector based in a CEL and it went away.
