MK7 rattling sound at cold start

[maakm1984]

Hello all,

New to the forum and new to VW group as second hand MK7 2.0 TDI owner.

I have been noticing rattling sound from engine bay on cold start. When engine becomes warm say after couple of mile of drive, the sound disappears and i dont hear it rest of the day. This has been going on for 6 months. Car runs fine without any issues. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Timing belt noise. Standard thing on these. you can live with it (it won't break because of this) or replace it
