h100vw 0 Posted August 30, 2005 What grade oil did you use? I am assuming it is the tappets that are making your ears hurt. The noise probably goes away when you are on the road but returns at tick over. Worst thing on a 16V is there are 16 of the chuffing things joining in. Could be that something got caught in the oil pump pickup which is restricting flow and dropping the pressure? If it weren't for the oil change I would say drop the sump and have a look at that. I suspect the grade of oil is wrong, if it suddenly started post oil change. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s.g 0 Posted August 30, 2005 did you flush it out completely. never use that stuff which you just top up the old oil( its in a cokecan size can). used it once and all the crap blocked the oil feeds up. your best bet is flush it out again with the stuff you buy in 5 litre bottles which replaces the old oil when its flushing time.
