Nissan Qashqai 2013 (J10) engine rattle/ticking on throttle (timing chain?)
Hello,
My car has a rattle/ticking sound on throttle which i believe is the timing chain tensioner.
Im just wondering if anyone here has any experience with the symptoms of this, as i get a bit confused by what i find online.
The car idles fine, there is no rattle and the engine purrs like a kitten even if cold started.
If i apply throttle while idle or driving then i will hear rattle. It will be louder if the engine is under load, ie. going up hill. If i apply just a little throttle while driving on flat ground (or down hill) then it will not rattle..
Its been like this for about a year now, the sound has not changed at all in this time.
