yeah ive been told that these blocks are noisy. not used to hearing an engine tick like that i suppose.

So I bit the bullet and bought this lovely sleeper, I mean my god what a lovely package and jeez, is that the boot space ?? Gotta thank all you who posted regarding the advices and experiences regarding the 2.0 tsi blocks and as soon as i got it i sent it for a major service as its 100k km and obviously the tensioner and chain got done too. Threw in a new water pump and r8 coilpacks and did some checks for any leaks and its pretty mint now. At this point the indy garages pretty much had my car more then me but hey all for peace of mind amirite? But, Im extremely new to this, ive never had vw cars before and coming from a long line of JDMs its kind of scary going into something with very limited knowledge. I apparently have rattle at startup (sounds like its from the chain area. lasts for like a second or 2) and after trawling the forums (briskoda to golfmk6) and listening to every youtube video of a tsi starting i came to a conclusion and im not sure whether its just me and thats how the TSi picks up oil when its cold or its a camshaft bridge thing or its something else. I mean ive done the tensioner revision, used good oil, renewed whatever i could afford and its making me clench everytime i start it in the morning. are ea888s that rattly and sound like a diesel ? . any advice on where do i go from here? Oil pump? was it maybe the chain guides? Just trying to work out my options here because i thoroughly enjoy the car and would love to be using it for the years to come but i dont know where to go next. any advice would be appreciated honestly.
