It is that involved.Just pull the valve cover and look for chain chew marks ... can't be that involved. Plus you can checkout how clean or dirty the top end of the engine is.
Wow, that's a ridiculous design ... who would do such a thing? Not trolled, except maybe by VW.
Even though the valve cover acts as the cam caps etc, what's so special and involved to remove it?

It's made that noise at start up only for ~5 mos. intermittently. Sounds more interesting at fast idle/cold start. I've driven it over that time hard/no issues. I'll be chatting with the shop when I get back in town next week now that I have a video a bit easier to explain it.
Welcome to many overhead cam 4 bangers...the days of "dummy" valve covers is long gone. The issue simply is all the crap you have to move etc. to do it honestly. I'm not planning on pulling anything in my garage, I'll be chatting with my shop now that I have a video and seeing what they want to do.Wow, that's a ridiculous design ... who would do such a thing? Not trolled, except maybe by VW.

I've been driving it (HARD!) like that for 5 mos. It's intermittent and right now, I'm just carrying on. Hasn't made a peep all day and just got back from some errands. I do have my Passat W8 that I also drive. This is the first time I've heard this in months.

At that point, he might as well do the timing chains and that exhaust cam @tigeis so in love with.
Agreed - if they pull the cover and that's the issue may as well do chains and MK6 GLI cam for 0.00000456 (repeating) more mm of exhaust lift for all the powwwaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!
You recommended a EA888? Glutton for punishment, aren't you?

You are like the bipolar child of BiTog.
You: gotta change oil with LM/HPL, quality filters. Gotta install AP racing brakes, quality suspension, is38 turbo, quality tune.....clean he hell out of the car.
Also you: (something rattles in the engine) Imma just send it.
Hopefully we don't get the "I SENT IT TOO HARD" video on your channel.
It can be done. Just gotta be careful with the sliders on the exhaust cam. If you move them too far, all of the balls fly out and you'll hate yourself.
That or another Hyundai were on her list. Her current Tucson drinks 1qt every 500 miles.You recommended a EA888? Glutton for punishment, aren't you?
That NEVER happens if you're careful. I have nightmares of it to this day.
Thank you for triggering that memory.
Yeah, I don't plan on doing it again. Just the idea of it makes my skin crawl.
edit: I have a theory that it might be easier to reinstall the cam cover without the solenoids in place. Then move the sliders after the cover is back-on since the cover has "limiters" that prevent them from sliding too far. But I hope to never find out because I kinda don't want to do another one.
HAHAAHAHAHAH
It's not really crazy, if something was that serious I would have known by now. It will get sorted here this month. I figure the 41+ runs down the drags in the last few mos. would have more than destroyed it if this was a "teetering on the edge of doom" type deal plus it's sporadic and with it on cold/hot starts only, it has to be oil-pressure related timing chain tensioner...but we will see and you'll hear it first here on the World Famous BITOG!
