Mine does it sometimes when its been cold. In the summer it ticks for about 10 seconds then is ok again.

Lee :P with your lifters :P

cheers lads i think im gonna av to get it sorted cos its p1ssing me off something chronick but me local vauxhall dealers ar wnkers and courtenay are a three hour drive away, so ill av to try somewere else everyone i seem to go to are bloody cowboys any one live near r-tech in hertfordshire know a good garage i could try

even if it is sticky lifters it should stop within a few secs really,

Not 15 minutes

someone told me that the ones off the V6 fit, and are better as thay hold the oil in when the engine is turned off. :boggle:

I have no idea, it was one of those crazy drunken pub conversations :lol:

mine also plays tickety tick when its cold.

yep, i can vouch for that :D

Dont worry bout it m8, mines does this every morning all C20 XE's do it, its just the lifters that are cold, if it bothers you you can replace them for about £150 - £200. :thumbs:

maybe the oil pump has gone? this happened to me, ticked for few minutes then went away so i thought it was just cos it was cold.... Then one day coming home from shopping..... BANG.... there goes one of my con-rods through the side of the block R.I.P. Baby Nova

i recently got a 2ltr engine conversion on me corsa gsi at courtenay sport
ive had nohing but trouble since i got it back & it's been up there about five fking times to be fixd. (free of charge so i cant really moan too much) now there is a proper bad ticking noise when i start it up but seems to go away after about ten to fifteen minutes. dont get me wrong the 2.0ltr conversion is mad (when its bl00dy workin) blitzed an rs turbo yesterday hahahaha courtenay seem to swear blind it's ok but im not convinced ive blown so many engines in my time im worried im gonna do the same to this 1 (what could this tickng noise be and could it fck the engine completly)
