So what is the deal with this noise then? Are we all just supposed to put up with it? I don't care what anyone says... no brand new car should make noises like this!

It seems that the only person who might have had it diagnosed and fixed is DaveyC, but perhaps that was a different problem producing similar symptoms?

My car is going in on thursday - with 9 other issues - and it'd be good to get this one sorted and give the service dept as much info as possible. Throughout this thread I've seen mention to the following items being replaced:

Timing Chain Tensioner
Cam Chain Tensioner
Timing Belt Tensioner
Chain Tensioner Piston

- presumably these are all referring to the same thing?

Thanks!
