    Question VVT/Timing Chain Issues

    Hey all,
    Sorry for all the threads lately.

    When I was at Jimmys and Ivans, they both mentioned a ticking noise.

    I read that there was a VVT recall or timing chain issue for this car?

    Here is a video I just took tonight of the noise.

    Is it VVT/timing chain or is it something else like valves, rods, bearings?

    Hard to tell in the video I hear 2 noises lol but the ticking could be the hpfp or the injectors how many km are on the motor ?

    Hard to tell from a video/sound clip... If it's vvt, you can usually stick your finger in the oil fill hole and feel if there is slack in the chain. Also usually makes noise only on cold start
