The family barge (218d Gran Tourer) was in for a service today and I asked them to have a listen to an engine rattle.

They've suggested it's the crank damper but advised further investigation required and I had two questions:

1. Is the B47 known for timing chain issues yet like the old N47? This one is on 98k.

2. Is there any harm in using a QH damper - it's £150 rather than £380?
