[email protected] 10 Posted December 1, 2015 Evening good people of Corradoland. On startup my vr6 has a tappet noise (sounds like it's only one). Could this be sticking? Would i need to investigate it further? After a couple of seconds it's gone and the engine runs fine. Any suggestions/ help appreciated. Thank you.

jekel 10 Posted December 3, 2015 Got a VW oil filter in it, or a good one, they should have a valve in them to stop oil draining right down from tappets, I'm told cheap ones don't, if good engine could cause the prob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jekel 10 Posted December 4, 2015 Vr6s have a paper element, the non return valve is in the block They've deffo got a valve in block but I'm told also got one on in filter. Just had new engine put in and lad that helped me put it in, big name on here, showed me what said was valve in the Hengst filter that came off old engine, inside the paper element, see it from the hole in middle, forgot to check new one from Europarts (don't sell Hengst anymore, got the best one they do). As engine new I'll be changing oil again very shortly and be using a Hengst or VW I reckon. Can't totally confirm or deny the valve, maybe someone on here can say 100%.
