View Full Version : 16v Engine Tapping noise
Any idea's as to what the problem could be?
Ive googled a bit and the results come up with that the tappets needs adjusting, not too sure on how to go about this though.

there self adjusting. if there tapping try an oil change. then its new tappets i,m afraid.
Any recommendations on which oil to use? Also If the oil doesnt help how much would some new tappets be roughly?
Thanks

They are hydrolic lifters, around £60 i think to buy. Ive got one that comes and goes and its annoying me now! But mine has now done over 160k :wink:
try valvoline max life .. worth a try
and forte topend treatment with new oil change

Ordered some should be here in a few days.
you have to de a car trade to get it.. you can not get it off shelf .. i have seen it on ebay ..
