Tapping sound from engine on startup
Posted: Tue May 01, 2001 8:19 am
Hi Chaps
This has been going on now for six months since I first brought my car and seems to be getting worse so I thought maybe one of you guys might be having a simililiar problem
It only happens when I have left my car standing over night or for longer then lets say 8 hours or so, but when I fire up my car it seems to make a tappet tapping type of noise, if I stop the engine let it sit for 5 secs and start it again the noise is gone but if I leave it ticking over the noise slowly subsides over 30 secs or so.......it doesn't always do this everytime I leave it standing just about 30% of the time sometimes it goes weeks without doing it.
I have changed the oil and given it a good flush through.....I'm sure it's the hydraulic tappets but what can I do if the oil flush failed?
