Got some tapping going on. Not comfy with it. Is it something that can be fixed by someone re-doing the timing?________________________________________ the zombie apocalypse started long ago, only no-one realised most can talk and drive |

once a tapper, always a tapper,depends what kind of tap it is really, is it constant? does it increase in speed with more throttle? ________________________________________ 1997 blaze GTI-6 bought january '11 £800 Spend to date on parts £827.88 |

Yep, pretty much as above.  Do a search on here for "tapping" and you will find all you need to know on the subject.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

 Sounds like you've got a classic tapper then. Head off job and replace those valves.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Ah glad I read this mine ticks at idle now and again but doesn't seem to increase with revs I.e sometimes it goes quieter (or engines just louder so it can't be heard) defo comming from cam cover though |

It can be several different things. A sticky follower, loose spark plug or a bent valve head following a snapped cam belt. Unfortunately, only one of those problems is easy to check up on. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

As I'm not too confident with anything engine-wise is anyone near/passing Uttoxeter who wouldn't mind having a little look one day? ________________________________________ the zombie apocalypse started long ago, only no-one realised most can talk and drive |

The very fact it has history of a cambelt snap tells me it will probably be a bent valve tap. Does it sound like a sewing machine?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

That's actually quite a good way to describe it lol. I was fairly sire it was going to end up being a valve too. ________________________________________ the zombie apocalypse started long ago, only no-one realised most can talk and drive |

Oh dear. Unfortunately looking at around £600 for the repair if you do it yourself, more if you add someone else's labour. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

valves are around a tenner each, plus gasket £40, head bolts £20, belt kit £60, WP £24.there's also the labour to recut the valve seats and skim the head, IF its possible, as there's a max of 0.25mm that can be taken off, if the head has already been off it'll be better to just source another good head. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Well, if you're going to do it as Welshpug says there is all that lot to buy. As well as that, don't forget you'll need an oil/filter change and a coolant change too. New exhaust manifold gasket too, these are £20. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Sometimes buying a complete engine that it known to be a good runner is the most cost-effective way of doing it. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yeah would be cheapest but I'm thinking of getting the whole engine rebuilt with pocketed pistons etc to run decent cams etc been getting a couple of quotes to weigh up options that's all |
