It is a gen 2, it sounds just like secondaty tensioners might be the problem, but all I found around here is that its almost impossible for that to be a problem, and if I have to replace the whole timing chain system I would rather just drive it until it dies instead. The rattle on start up started about 2 year and 20k km ago, doesnt seem to be getting worse although the engine is little noisy. On very cold startups when engine crancks for a while before starting the rattle is very minimal/not there, and hour or two after driving no startup noise, and for 4-6 hours after driving startup noise is minimal. I did try to scout as much as possible but all I found regarding gen 2 is 1 guy that replaced secondary ones and that fixed nothing. If someone knowlegable could help me out on this one I would really appreciate it, let me know if you need any other details, to help. Please and thanks!
