Hi, Excuse me for being cheeky about asking for help so soon after joining but if this problem finally gets fixed, I'll be over the moon!
I bought my 2002 Megane Coupe 2.0 16v VVT a year ago on April 13th.
Ever since i've had it, Its made the noise as i never clocked on to the guy switching it off again before it getting up to tempature. I've been slagged by numerous people about the taxi noise it makes, And generally the embarresment sitting at traffic lights drowning out the sound of Octavia TDi's.
Its drove fine the whole time, Glasgow to London back to Glasgow, Glasgow to Blackpool and back, Glasgow to Aberdeen and back.
Only real problem i've had was the coilpacks which im grateful for.
I've tried Hydraulic Lifter fluid, several engine flushes and oil changes and a good few diagnostic fee's which have turned up nothing.
Within 5 minutes of joining here, i found a thread with this video..

It sounds identical, The noise isnt there at first, When the engine is up to tempature, It starts and disappears at around 2k revs, then only returns around 1500 revs and on idle.
Im now excited with the fact that it could not be fixed if it is that.
My question, After this long story is, How much should i be looking to pay, What should be changed and is there any particular specialist in Glasgow or nearby who is reasonable and could do this.
Sorry for the long and winded story but this noise has haunted me for the last 12 months and 30,000 miles
Thanks for the useful threads you have all previously made, Its really helped me out.
I've learnt more on here in an Hour than i have in 12 months on a Coupe related forum. You all seem genuinely intersted in helping each other and are very informative, And for that i have alot of respect.
Thanks
John
