Sounds like a hydrolic tappet mate. nothing to worry about. You can get those oil treatments which will sort it but the only trouble is you run the risk of buggering your turbo because they thicken the oil up a bit. you might find it will just go away or only do it when your engine is hot when the oil is thinner. You could try another oil change in 5k with an engine flush. Thats what i'd be tempted to do

yep agreed, my initial thought was a sticky hydraulic tappet.

The problem with pd engines is the hydraulic lifters don't tend to stick they tend to go weak, wear in the centre and flatten the top of the valve stems which eventually causes a misfire on the effected cylinder.

Best to get them replaced along with a cam and shells sooner rather than later.

how much could this cost?

MJ · Jun 14, 2011

£750 without a belt kit or £1000 with.

We replace:

The cam
Shells
Lifters
Belt
Tensioner
Idler roller
Water pump
Coolant
Oil
Filter
Sump plug
Any seals which need doing.

We also tend to remove the EGR, ASV and manifold so they can be acid bathed and cleaned.
