Ticking Noise

[Eddieb]

Everytime i start ym car up from cold i get annoying ticking sound! When i rev the ticks get faster! However when the engine is hot and i start up theres no ticking! It disappears after 2 or 3 mins! Someones car on our street is also dropping oil and i fear it is mine!

Anyone got any ideas what the ticking is? And if the 2 problems are related?

if its a 1.2 16v there is your answer! tick followed tock followed tick followed tock!!!!!

erm last oil change would of been about 7 or 8 months ago! hehe! When a bolt went thru my engine

Due a service soon but its getting on my tits so might get it done sooner rather than later!

Its a 1.4 16v, funny engined one, neva eva seen the same engine in another Clio b4!

 

[Eddieb]

Have been informed it might be a slow injector?

 

[Eddieb]

or a sticky tappet! ahhh help sounds fookin expensive!

Maybe a noisy hydraulic tappet. You might find it queitens down after the oil has been changed at the service.

 

[Eddieb]

Yeah, going to give iti a service and hope it calms down!
