2001 Ipsum 2.4 Litre engine, sounds like tensioner is not working as it should on start up as the timing chain makes a lot of noise. Vehicle is coming up to 100K. Anyone heard of this sort of problem before and more importantly can it be fixed by replacing the tensioner only (is it even accessible) or does engine require new chain and all associated bits and pieces.
Note: engine had oil & filter every 5-10k since purchase at 60K (Castrol Magnetec)
Cheers

well is the noise only at startup and then gone after! if so that be normal and you would want to change to a better oil-filter that wont let the oil drain back out. As if its only at startup then that is likely the problem no oil for a few secounds on the tensioner etc as it has drained back out in to the sump. check and post what oil filter you got fitted!

well drive to toyota buy a geniuen filter fit it and start it up then stop it again and 5 minute later start it again and see if it stoped doing the noise. if it stoped doing the noise then you found out that ripco sells crap oil filters.

I'd be concerned about the drain back feature of the after market filter you have fitted. the genuine one is $4 more for a reason lol
