My Seat Ibiza 1.4MK3 Sounds like a Diesel(It ticks alot), I had a new exhaust fitted but ive had it checked by 2 RAC Blokes and a garage and none of them know what it is, Thinking maybe the timer or somthing?
Whats so funny? [/url]
Ive always thought it was the tappets... is it not like?
Yep mine is the same !!
As well as this you may find the clutch stiff as foook.
Improves your left calf though lol
Well the Tappets can go silent when the car is revved if there is an oil pressure problem, however 99% of the time they will make more noise as the valves open and close faster when the revs increase. With injectors the noise tends to be more consistent.
I find that the engine does get louder as the revs rise, especially when the engine and oil are cool.
lol no bother, 0w-40 fully synth, probably about 200 miles a week or so and changed every year... should probably change it more really.
tbh mate I have always done mine at 10k or 1 year and use fully syth 5w-40 and when I open the oil cap the insides look spotless! Good on you using fully synth! Our seat main dealer was using magnertec 10w-40 semi-synth (while it was in warrenty) Just out of interest do you have to top up the oil with yours?
