So yeah if any of you guru fellas have some ideas for me to check, would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotate the chain around via the balancer crank bolt and check to make sure it hasn't jumped a link or chipped a chain tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 135,000kms so must be common thing around those kms lol Edit: do you still have stock turbo oil line? or did you remove the filter thing?
