Cam rattle

[Paulydelta]

I've been having a few problems with a rattle
Could this be an oil pick up problem
I've had no oil pressure lights or nothing
It's sounds like there's no oil getting to the top ( like a sticky tappet ) . Just. Putting this across before I rip the sump off any ideas

might be the cam chain tensioner.. sam issue with the 8L's

 

[Paulydelta]

Ok can that be changed without moving the cam shafts
Don't mind messing with simple stuff when it comes to cambelts and chains I become the tool go getter

though mate dont qoute me on it but it might be without hearing your engine no ones knows.. though it does make sense however if it indeed was you pickup and you having tappet like sounds that damn red oil pressure light would beep alright

Since then I changed the oil I'll post it up again wen I get home

yeah could always be that too but not that ****** loud i wouldnt thing but its a 20mins job to check it and replace it neway

Dropped the sump pan and found this plastic piece in the oil pick up

 

[Marshy]

Is that part of the cam chain tensioner?

 

[Paulydelta]

I'll find out tomorrow when I remove the cover to check

 

[Marshy]

I thought it looked like part of the guide setup of the tensioner.
Let us know mate.

Cam chain tensioner for sure

 

[Paulydelta]

Is there any posts on how to remove them if it has gone

Pauly just remembered check your oil pump closely as the 2.0 tfsi pumps are known to fail more then the 06A since you have the sump off it would be wise to check even replace it if i were you along with the pick up pipe.. and I'd definitely check the cams chain tensioner

i hope you don't have any valve/piston damage.. do a compression test just to be sure.. how that plastic bit made it to the bottom God knows..its damn big
