Always when you replace the timing chain Buy the OEM raplacment set. ( Mercedes parts) It usually lasts 300-400k km on a B class. / (Diesel) Yeah it's not like in old mercedes cars where it lasts for at least 800k km. Alo i think a good practice when doing the chain job to change the water pump, thermostat and a clutch job. ( cause engine is out)

Best to call a specialist or audi dealer and make sure. A. Usually this issue occurs around 75k-150k. It’s a common theme in all Audi/Porsche engines with chains. I’m guessing your car sat for extended period(s) of time with only 26k on the clock. You may have an oring that went dry on one of your chain tensioners and it’s bleeding by when cold allowing slap for a few seconds.
