Title: Engine noise????
Post by: Rustybear on February 01, 2012, 07:03:05 pm

Had the car a couple of days and noticed the engine seems a bit tappetty. Has fdsh and one owner etc, belt, pump all changed so just wondering if this noise is the norm? Looking at the car front on facing the windscreen it Seems to be at the front and to right of the engine bay. Or am I just a new owner looking for problems????
