    mk2 172 - engine tap/rough

    Not another thread about the 2.0l being tappety as I know they all are. My tap is not coming from the engine block area, more when you hold your head over the drivers side headlight/toward the central left hand site of engine. Wondered what makes the tap,tap,tap,tap noise :)?
