If it fixes the skeleton masturbating in a filing cabinet filled with spoons noise on cold starts, it'll be worth it.

According to Porsche it is an updated design and they'll be changing 1-3 to that design as well.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I am trying to get rid of that apparently common chain rattle which happens for less than a second on cold start up. I've already done the IMS tensioner, didn't make a difference so now I'm going to do 1-3 and 4-6.
I ordered the parts and I'm a little puzzled with 4-6 as it doesn't look like I expected it to.
From what I can tell from my manuals and internet info, the tensioners "more or less" look the same but are differentiated by a different number of circles in the head of the unit with a 32mm hex head.
Indeed, my IMS and 1-3 tensioners look like that, but 4-6 looks different.
Anyone know if there has been a part# supersede or something?
I received # 996 105 188 02
It has a round head and a much smaller internal hex, as opposed to the full 32mm OD hex. See photo here.

I was expecting it to look more like these:

Also, I just changed the oil. How much am I going to lose pulling #1-3?
No, it's always like that, different than the other two. It's head is flat and low profile to make room for the power steering lines that are mounted close to it.

Thanks. Heard back from that parts supplier just a short while ago. According to Porsche it is an updated design and they'll be changing 1-3 to that design as well.
Sucks though, now I need to buy a 14mm key socket! Oh well.
Hopefully this weekend if I get the opportunity. I want to do the AOS as well so I'll need a good chunk of the day to do everything.
Early engines had an external hex of 32mm, not the internal hex of 14mm. The newest revisions of these are all 14mm internal hex, even if they are for an earlier engine.
Hopefully not. If it's necessary I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. If it's super tight, I might just do 1-3 first and see if that cures the noise.
Thanks for the info Jake.
If it fixes the skeleton masturbating in a filing cabinet filled with spoons noise on cold starts, it'll be worth it.
Did 1-3 last night. I won't know for sure if it was successful or not until tomorrow or maybe later tonight - want to give it at least 24 hours for the cold start.
BUT, I am cautiously optimistic. The new tensioner for 1-3 is about 1/4" longer than the old one and once I primed it, it was solid as a rock and actually made installing it quite difficult. It was a royal PITA as I was loosing oil continually as I was trying to put it in and lost around 5 litres... of 3 week old oil
