Hello everyone, I just thought to share my recent experience with my 2011 VRS 2.0 TSI. I bought this car nearly two months ago. From day one, the car had cold start issues (judder/clanky noise/misfires....). Refer to my forum content regarding the same: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/530154-cold-start-noise-2011-vrs-20/ I consulted three mechanics and fitted a new timing chain and spark plug set along the process. None of these resolved the cold start issue. Finally, I consulted a VAG engine specialist in Leicestershire. The place is called PIP automotive and he is your go to person for this engine and its all generation variants. He is an injector specialist as well. ( Fb page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569655329233) Apparently my injectors were leaking, had air leak in the intake system, and huge carbon build up inside the ports. All of these were figured out immediately. Following that, he did walnut blasting, refurbished all four of my injectors and sorted my air leakage issues. Costed me £300 for everything. Car drives absolutely brilliant now all thanks to him. Highly recommended for these engines.

After timing chain kit and spark plugs, my last resort is at replacing the purge valve. How much does a purge valve from the dealer cost? My mechanic couldn't find one from outside

New spark plugs fitted and the cold start issue still exists. Going to try our packs as well now. Could it be due to a faulty IAF/MAF/Coolant temperature sensor fault?

Hello all, A frustrating update on this issue. Got the whole timing chain kit replaced on the car, including the sprockets. Checked the cam phase angle as per the YouTube video. Its now well within limits (-0.9). Spent 1100 pounds for this. The next morning cold start, I am back to where I started. The same cold start noise which disappears after the engine warms up. Please can someone share their thoughts on what it could be? Videos attached below. With headphones on, you can hear the clanking noise in between:/ Engine2.mp4 Exhaust1.mp4 Engine1.mp4

Just an update on the issue. Finally managed to receive a quote for this. Parts cost roughly £430. Labour cost £630. All excl. VAT. The mechanic suggested getting timing chain kit from Gates which is apparently a good brand for this engine.

Thanks @tetley. We did a VCDS as per this video. The phase angle is -5.6. red zone. So its definitely a timing chain stretch i believe. Got to replace the tensioner and the chain. How expensive of a job will it be?

Misfire was logged 5 times during three different cold starts. 1.Cylinder 2,3, and multiple misfire codes-8 to 9 counts 2. Cylinder 2- 2 counts 3. Cylinder 4- 6 counts

Hello, Below is the topic I started following a cold start noise in my recently bought 2011 VRS with engine code CCZA. We did a VCDS scan yesterday and got the following report. The noise only comes when cold starting Goes away after engine reaches operating temperature VCDS report shows misfire We cleared codes and took the car out for a spin. Did a re-scan, no fault codes after. Please can you have a look at the scan report and tell me what you guys think? No mention of timing issues in the report. However, I was told that the noise from my attached videos in the below thread could be a timing chain? As a side note, does anyone know a good mechanic in the Leicestershire/Coventry area to whom I can take to get the timing chain inspected? if needed Log-RE11WNA-TMBEF21Z3B2170485-155520km-96635mi.txt VCDS.pdf

Thank you for this info:). VCDS shows one multiple/random misfire code. Then 3 separate codes for cylinder 2,3, and 4. Thus, four fault codes in total. I will get the timing chain checked anyways. Any suggested places to go in the Leicestershire area?

The engine bar code and the V5C shows only 3 letters (CCZ) and then digits. But the service documents and HPI report show CCZA. Is this normal? Vehicle was purchased last week. Part service history. Private seller. We test drove the vehicle, did all kinds of roads and speeds. It was absolutely fine. Cold start is when the issue comes up. An update on my issue. The engine check light suddenly disappeared yesterday. Nevertheless, I did a VCDS scan with the help of my friend. It showed up few error codes. Report attached here. It shows multiple misfire. Nothing related to timing. To be sure, we cleared the codes, took it out for a spin, and then did a scan again. This time, no fault codes at all. This makes me believe there are no issues when the engine is warm. So spark plug, or ignition coil? Just out of curiosity, what codes am I expecting to see which directs to potential timing chain issues? VCDS.pdf

@Warrior193first 4 characters of engine code is ccz1

Hello again. In case the drive link is difficult to access, I have managed to get compressed videos. Please can someone suggest the root cause? I have labelled the videos. As I mentioned earlier, the noise goes away when the engine is warmed up. 1) Engine side immediately after cold start. 2) Engine side after a few minutes. 3)From exhaust side after cold start. From engine after startup.mp4 From engine after a while.mp4 Exhaust side after startup.mp4

Hello. I am new to this forum. I recently bought a 2011 VRS 2.0 petrol with around 95k miles. Since yesterday, I am noticing a noise from the engine and exhaust during cold start. Looks as if the car is struggling to idle. RPM dial fluctuates. Car shakes when this happens. Engine check light on. However, once the engine warms up and reaches its operating temperature, the noise goes away and the car runs absolutely fine. Since I cannot attach big files here, I am adding a drive link to the videos I have from cold starts. Please can you have a look and comment if this sounds familiar? I am going to diagnose this with a reader soon. But thought to share it here to get your expertise as well:) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BJL4-GsNORHItdi3TLnkrLB4nxyzqsCz
