Just a query... my car on start up has teh faint tappety noise, onces its warmed up the tappety noise seems to marginally (ever so) increase a little... its even there after a drive and when idling in traffic... is this normal, or should the tappety noise disapear when its been running for a bit.
The tappety noise does go when you raise the revs over 2k and its sounds extremely nice when you hit 5k +  just a tad concerned that my engine is a bit worse for wear?

I come from a Fabia vRS with the PD TDi engine, so its an improvement over that, but on occasions it could be mistaken as a diesel  :sad:

New engine fitted when car was at 27k... last one went "noisey".

As has been said, it's not tappets you hear, it's the injectors. And it's normal. My GTI ('07) with all of 200KM on the clock (It was delivered on Wednesday :D) does it too and so does my other car ('06 BMW E90 320 Si).
