Hey Guys. I bought an A3 2008 1.8 TFSI in june. Car was running fine until a few months. I start to hear weird noises like pulsating or something from the front. The sound only occurs when the engine warmed up. It can be heard when idle or in gear. If I push little gas the noise starts coming faster. We tought it can be the drive belt / tensioner pulley. After it was changed for a new on, but the noise/sound came back again. It can be maybe the timing chain ? I dont really have idea now. Check out the video down below. VID_20191228_202258.mp4

Looking to buy a B7 S4 and the internet is awash with tales of timing chain / tensioner failures and horrific costs to repair (if it doesn't goose the engine). If I took it all in I'd just walk away and never buy one however I need to put it into perspective . . . I'm looking at cars with 60k - 80k on the clock and at the moment am steering away from anything approaching 100k. I'm looking for evidence of the cars being on a 12 month service cycle rather than 24, main dealer stamps and with regular oil changes. What's the official Audi line with this, is there a point where they are saying the chains should be replaced or simply, well maintained with regular oil changes they'll keep going for ever??
