Ds3 noise with vid - time for timing chain?

[90paulwilson]

Hi,

Here is a vid of my 11 plate DS3. Registered Sep 2011 so I read these were less prone to timing belt issues. Car has done 37k.

Please see the video and tell me what you think. Read online that these engines can often develop a noise anyway but I always feel that no noisy engine should be ignored but I don't have the funds to take it into a garage until next week.

Thanks for looking.

how did you get on with this? think I'm starting to have the same problem

[Chris_Blue]

doesn't sound that bad to me- heard stacks worse than that
Little bit of ticking which could be wratcheting of tensioner

Whats it like when warm?

Is oil to max?

Sounds how mine did. Unfortunately I didn't realise then, that it was the timing chain.

Hoping a new tensioner may sort it though.
