Skoda Fabia 1.2 TSI Engine rattle noise. Anyone had the same?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

That video isin't my engine but I can get the same higher pitched whine and wondered what it is?

The dull knocking I guess it is the pistons, didn't notice it so much back in the summer like you say. It seems quite loud in the cabin of late, dosen't always do it either. A bit alarming to hear but I do take it really easy with low revs until things warm up. I tried record it this morning but it didn't seem as loud as it has been. I guess when temp is around 5/6 deg C and below it's worse. These engines do seem to make some strange noise's at times... I'm still trying to find out about the timing chain thing. My engine No. Is different range to those mentioned in the TPI. I did just post in another thread about that. Mines a 2013, only date I've found is June of that year stamped on the chain cover.

As for oil I think they've put it on a variable schedule which I'm not happy about. It would of been due in Dec but they said not to worry about about it until car flags it up. Having checked thats about other 9K miles away. Oils starting to look black now, I have no idea what was put in it. It's been serviced at main dealer from new and will be in the future. Not aware of any chain rattling on start up yet, cars done about 12.5K miles so far so low for its age I guess.
