hi, wonder if anyone can help. when i start my ibiza (1.2s) for the first 1-2 mins it is quite noisy with a loud ticking/rattling noise but after 2 or 3 mins it settles down to its normal soft purring noise. is just during the first couple of mins that i get this funny loud-ish noisy tickover. any ideas/solutions anyone?

Many Thanks

I have a similar noise on mine, i have been trying to find out what it is for ages and my car has just been serviced. It was suggested to me that it could be tappets ( i think thats what they said :s ) if any one could shed any light on what ive bin told would be great.

Does it have enough oil? :lol: If not I'd say the tappets are just a bit vocal until oil has got properly round, as Rich above said. :)

sometimes the gear knob can rattle...test this by giving it a move, at least you can strike that off the list :)
