A FRIEND WITH THE SAME CAR HAS BEEN TOLD HE NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN ASSY BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS NOT A COMMON THING FOR THIS MODEL
HAS ANYONE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THERE'S AND HOW DID THEY GO ABOUT IT?

quite an extensive job I assume? even to inspect and then to replace even more of a pain?

H6's are inherently loud.
You can still hear slight rattling with mine on idle and the chain/ tensioners are 100% (it's been opened up)
Unless it gets loud- don't worry about it.
Labour to remove radiator and the timing chain cover, then replace r/h tensioner and put everything back together was $600

Agree on the noise level of a H6.
I don't believe I have an issue with mine but I find myself looking around to see if a diesel has pulled up beside me.
You went to NEC correct??
Just around the corner from me!

agreed.
Yeah what an annoying/ expensive issue.
It's not uncommon for the tensioner to go. The chain itself will last forever though. (as long as it doesn't go slack and snap).
