Hi.
I know, many topics about this. Still, there is many components in an engine.
Anyone familiar with these engines could point out what to look for in my case.
I had it at local mechanic to get wheel bearings replaced.
He mentioned that the engine should not sound like this.
Its making me confused, because at the same time, many owners around internet INCLUDING the seller of the car made me aware that its perfectly normal for these engines to sound like a diesel.
It has 120'000Km's/75'000m.
Here is some aditional stuff i figured out.
1: the car does NOT sound like a tin can full of marbles when its cold.
Cold start, the car is more silent. it does however go a bit uneven the first 30 secounds after i started it while its standing still in neutral.
2: the sound is audible after 1 minute after starting the car (if it have been staying over night)
3: i find the sharp sound to be most audible at the exhaust?
i might be fooling myself though.
4: the area around the timing chain is ofcourse pretty noisy.
I compared my engine noise to those serious affected ones uploaded to youtube and mine doesnt sound exact the same as those which makes me
wounder wether it could really be the chain or not.
5: i do have a pretty strong ticking sound aswell. but i can hear it along the whole front side of the engine. Could just be loud injectors.
Notice: Im trying to convice myself that it might be from the exhaust.
if you listen closely, when i get near the exhaust you can here a more weird sound. like, a tin box with stones in it that rattles slightly tonal sound, not that noisy... hard to explain. its a very weird and annoying noise. hearing it inside the car aswell.
Its not from under the car, more like around the turbo manifoild area..
You can clearly hear its the exhaust in 2nd video.
here is a video:

VIDEO NR3: Cold start. engine runs smooth in the beginning. if you take your time to watch through, you can hear how the engine gets more noisy
after a minute. slowly. Also pcv testing while cold and while hot.
