Any opinions on the valve treatment then? U dont mean the valve treatment do u BRUN?
Was a Clio 1.8 16v
So it basically thins the oil with some sort of lubricant which helps the valves move more freely? Ill put it in when my oil comes down from the MAX mark a bit & report back.

Can u get this to add to ur petrol? Any1 used it or know anything about it?
Im about to put this Wynns stuff in my oil if not, thanks, Mikey.

lol My fault, its late.
No, i mean can u buy valve treatment to add to your petrol rather than Oil? Ive been told so but im sure i checked last time i was in BMS, any1 know of this?

ATF does the same and its cheaper, just put a quart of ATF runi gth engine for a few minutes, change oil and voila, no more sticky tappet noise.

This valve treatment doesnt say i need to change the oil, just run as normal, so ill probably use that.
R u sure the petrol additive 1 wont quieten the noise? Thanks.

So im gonna use the Oil treatment 1, but it doesnt say i need to change the oil. Is this right?
you might get better results from changin the oil, but if it aint been in that long then jus chuck it in
if you wanna try a fuel treatment you might wanna try this.......if you want some then email me........its £7 delivered

Just been serviced with expensive fuel & oil treatments, filled up with Mobil 1 so no problem there. Its that bloody Magnetex that has made my valves tappety!

you could try wynns (i think) stop smoke or something, supposed to cut smoke down from your exhaust but quietened down my tappets a treat.

My Xorst does smoke a little more than it should.
Dont need an Oil change for it does it? Cheers.

OK i finally used the Oil additive stuff and i cant mock it.
It has reduced the engines idle noise by around 30% id say and sounds more crisp but u can still hear that quick ticking noise but all the other sounds it makes are not as loud. I can recommend it for a smoother sound which also must mean its doing some good to the valves aswell.
Worth a try if u were unlucky enough to use Magnetex in ur Clio 16v (which caused the loud engine idle). Hope this helps others, Mikey.

Yeah, i thought id be my injectors, its jus louder than most other cars injectors but its the same with ever Valver ive heard so aint anything unusual.
Was a Clio 1.8 16v
True.
I changed mine to Mobil 1 15w/50 last service, and will change every 6k as it runs fine, it was the GTX that caused a loud tappet noise!
