So, I've had my Citroen (lol) 2012 DS3 DSport 1.6 THP 155 for just 11 days and unfortunately, the engine doesn't sound too good.

I'm getting some metallic ticking from the turbo and now the blow of valve sound is now starting to mask that sound with a louder, higher pitched squeal.. Though, i don't think it should sound like this...

My thoughts are a possible actuator/wastegate issue?

Does anyone have any experience with the prince engines?

Sounds from what i believe is the turbo area:

What's the mileage? Sounds like a dodgy tensioner/chain.

Its the timing chain.

Don't drive that around till the tensioner is checked or you risk a slipped chain.
