got 33 000km on it

no problem yet.

but still got the noisy engine knocks when cold.

I suspect the timing chain.

I know the dealer had to redo an Ecotec cuse the timing chain failed after 70 000km <br>

30000km on 04. Almost every possible problem. Ecotecs arent bad motors, they are certainly (from what Ive read) the most reliable engine that GM is using in their j bodies so far. <br>

Keep in mind yours is a 2002 so you got a year or two on the rest of us. If my engine was a 2002 and I drove it as much as I do now Id have easily hit 95 000 now (km) <br>

What kind of sound does the timing chain make? Guaranteed thats next on my car. Any chance I can simply tighten something so it doesnt blow when I need it? <br>
