timing chain tensioner noisy after 29,000 miles I,ve only done 22,000 since nearly new purchase  anyone else out there ???

What year and engine?

 

64 plate 1.2 tsi engine f,s.h. at skoda garage 

Has the car had Fixed Servicing so now had at least 3 Oil & Filter changes?

Maybe change to VW502 00 spec oil so 5w 40 FS for fixed servicing rather than the VW 504 00 / 5w 30 FS Long Life.

 

What is the Full Service History showing as what they have done / replaced?

Other than Oil & Filters, Oil & Pollen, has it had a new Air Filter, New Spark Plugs, the Brake Fluid Changed?

 

Maybe go see a Mechanic  / Technician and get the car / engine checked out including the timing chain and tensioner.

Maybe also get new spark plugs fitted if not done already.

Does a 64 plate car have a timing chain?
What year did they change to belt?

64 plate 1.2Tsi will have a timing chain.... as has my 15 plate;  the newer (cam belt) engines started,  I think,  on the 65 or even the 16 plates,  but someone will be along soon to confirm that, I'm sure.
