  • THP rattling on idle

    Hi all,

    I have a 2013 DS3 THP thats done 26k miles ive noticed that when the engine is cold on idle it sounds like a diesel engine, this also seems to become louder when reving to around 2000-2500rpm.
    I know alot of the THP engines have an issue with the Timing Chain tensioner and was wondering if it could be that.

    PS: Recently I have discoverd I seem to be loosing coolant which I am going to be getting looked at asap (Don't know if this issue could be related to the noise or not).

    Video of the noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMlEOCec19o


    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    My money is on your timing chain.
