VW Touareg: Clicking 3.0 V6 Kong Engine Noise?

Hello, I'm having a problem with my VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI. The engine is making a clicking noise. The car starts right up for me. Could it be the cylinder head or the valves? Please give me some advice.

Hello.

I'm quite sure the two upper timing chain tensioners are on the left and right sides.
The components were equipped with a pre-tension spring that lost its tension very quickly.
The new parts have been redesigned and now provide much tighter tension when starting.

057109218K Right-side upper chain tensioner.

059109217C Chain tensioner, upper left side.

...and no, the engine or transmission do not need to be removed for the timing belt replacement.
It all starts from the top .
However, if the two small chains are too long, you need to access them from the back, and the engine and transmission must be disassembled.

Regards, Mpire.

Does it also fit the BKS engine?

YES.

Can I remove it without any special tools? Do you know the part number for the seals?

059109092A Cylinder gasket for cylinders 1-3.
059109091A Cylinder gasket for cylinders 4-6.

Regarding the following: D176501A1 Silicone adhesive and sealant, 50ml.

Yes, you'll need various Torx wrenches and a 1/4" ratchet set with an extension.
"200mm and Torx sockets, torque wrench starting from 4Nm, and a positioning pin for the camshaft sprocket and tensioner."

To position the camshaft, you will need tool T40060.
and to secure the clamp in its compressed state, use a nail that is either 3mm or 3.5mm thick .

Thank you very much.
