My 6 will make a tapping noise from the top right of the engine (when looking from front) but this only happens if I've put my foot down a bit. If I drive around gently say sub 3.5k, then the noise doesn't show.Someone said this could be a sticky valve and an engine flush could be the answer. Can anyone give me some input?

I did a search if that's what you are hinting!! no but I think every member on this forum are paranoid about tappy engines I'd have thought you'd have seen all this in previous threads if the belt hasn't jumped snapped then these apre pretty resilient engines mine has a tendency to tap like a mini sowing machine at times usually down to thin oil or lack of use until the circulation gets going again I hope you find it's nothing and your fears layed to rest!  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
