Usually flywheel noise nothing really to be concerned about. May need replacing eventually

Hi Rickster, is there an audible sound on startup from the timing chain, on the RS4, I would assume only for a few seconds until oil pressure builds up? Cheers

I had it on my c5 rs6 and sounded awful for about 4-5 secs on start up sound like a bag of spanners usually first start of the day worse on a cold day

Thanks Rickster, but on your RS4 B7 or any RS4 B7 I assume there's no audible sound or rattle on startup from chain when cold, I only ask as when viewing I like to have a good listen to engine, and just wondered if it was a common trait with these engines, a rattle on startup?

these engines never rattle on startup , its the S4 engine which does that due to cheap internals ,RS4 is completely different , different chain different steel guides instead of the cheap nylon ones the engine is all over totally different , lots of folk seem to thing it s 4,2 , so its the same , eh no its not , there is no components in the engine which is from S4, nothing !
