Timing chain rattle??

[frankinstyyn]

What you guys and gals reckon? Can’t tell if there’s a timing chain rattle…. Sounds louder on the front left to my ear.

No issues with pulling or lights etc, but car is around 130,000 miles..

Video here - hope there is enough sound

Sounds like direct injection to me. Did you just get the car?

Sounds healthy...injectors and HPFP chattering away.

No, had the car around 6 months or so

Okay!! Cool! Thank you. I’ve recently done the water pump, PCV and thermostat so that’s a relief

Ok, yeah, was just asking to see if these are new noises or not. The hpfp and injectors make a chattery noise, that's how my engine has always sounded. Timing chain noise is distinctly identifiable. Like imagine dragging a metal chain over a bolt rapidly.

Ahhh okay cool. No, not new noises and it’s had oil changes every 5000 miles so I’m hoping it stays away……. Thank you
