Tapping noise staying constant :)
« on: 18 July 2004, 19:50 »
When i start up my VR6 the tapping noise that should go after 2 seconds is'nt going away :(
It happened about 2 -3 months ago so i changed the oil and all was fine but now its reappeared and the oil level seems fine.
Whats wrong with my baby ??

Probably worn tappets.
But could be worn chain guide or tensioner.
