Beginnings of failing TCT? Or serious engine trouble?
Hey guys, have a listen to this video. there is an odd noise that started tonight on rev deceleration. Ive had a bad TCT before but was fixed and sounded nothing like this, however the car had the TCT issue when i purchased the car so it was pretty far gone. Could this be the beginnings of the TCT failing again? Ive put about 40,000 km on the car since I fixed the TCT last so im unsure if it could come back with that amount of mileage.
The car is run at 10psi, no hesitation, smooth idle, no unusual smoke, no coolant in the oil, doesnt consume oil etc. Just this noise that started tonight.
Have a listen and give your input. Thanks in advance guys.

It is entirely possible. I would replace it asap before driving your car anymore. Its pretty loose sounding if that's indeed what it is, and continuing to run and revving the motor like that could cause serious damage. That sound is the timing chain flopping around. Don't run it anymore until you replace the tct, and if that doesn't do it then your going to have to take the next step. But the TCT is first easiest and most likely. Good luck.
