Hi guys.  I have a 2014 Skoda Superb (35k mileage).  Car runs perfectly, no issues however lately I have noticed this sound when cold starting.  If I turn the car off and restart the sound doesn't occur.  Only does it when I start/turn the car after not using it for a few hours.  

Any ideas??

Sounds like slack chain until the oil pressure builds up. Audi 1.8T engines do this and is fixed with new chain tensioner usually.

which engine code do you have? CAXC 1.4 TSi 125ps?

 

The timing chain can stretch on some engines.

Think a kit is 03C 198 229 C but you need bolts and gaskets too which don’t come in the kit.

You get new chain and tensioner, new camshaft adjuster, guide rails and modified timing gears.

Where do I find the engine code?  Its a 1.4

 

Easiest place is you can find it on the data sticker on the inside cover of the service book or if the PDI tech bothered in the spare wheel well in the boot.

My mechanic has changed the oil filter today as a start to see if this was faulty and causing oil pressure issues on cold start.  Shall see in the morning what it sounds like.
