Engine Tapping



  Clio 1.2 1996
Sorry to post a subject that has already previously been resolved, but ive just got meself a 1.2 1998 clio Biarittz (yes i know its nothing fast but i have plans ;)) and theres a slight engine tapping, nothing loud or major and it does go away when the engine revs and after its been on the road for a few mins, so mainly tapping when its idle, and first started up, just wanna know if its anything major/worth getting fixed, the cars at about 60k miles and has no other problems currently with the engine.

Thanks in advance, Pete

might sound like a stupid question, but have you checked the oil ? just sounds like its going away after the oil has thinned out once warm
