Who the hell designs an engine with the chain at the back meaning total removal to replace......mercs have gone the same

VAG - the V8 in the Audi S4 & RS4 (and other vehicles using those engines) all have the timing chain at the back.

Yup 1 series is a glorified mi mini with a blue and white badge on

I got the same problem as the one who wrote the topic. 2017 skoda octavia with 1.6 cr tdi is the patient. It have an ATE discs and brake pads like in the picture. Did anyone find a solution for the "clunk"

 noise? Or if i install those anti squeal self adhesive break pad shims will stop that frustrating noise?

I’ve just bought a 2015 vrs and noticed a clunk after reversing … then braking going foward. Definitely coming from the front.. 

 

I guess this is normal 😂

I used ceramic paste on the back side of the pads, it works well not a single knocking sound

Thanks I’ll give it a try, I was told the brakes are Newley fitted when I bought the car, but there don’t seem to be much grease there
