Oil was changed, still tappy, actually seems worse now. Tappets methinks, the garage said it would take 2 days?? Seems a very long time to change some tappets, and £15 for each. | |

do not use a flush!!! although it may remove all the shit...maybe cause a couple more problems with the shit not being there | |

quote: I wouldn't do that... best way would be this IMO: drain used oil, remove oil filter, drain oil from it, put it back (old filter) put about a litre of cheap 10-40W oil and let the engine run for some time. Then drain again. Fill up with new oil and put new filter on :) | |

put a flush in it as well mate before you do the oil change. its supposed to clean all the carbon and shit out. dont know if it does any good but i always use it before an oil change | |

My mate picked up a 1999 1.2 16v SXI, everything seems good on it, except the engine seems really tappy. Theres oil in it, and it seems to be running OK, are SXIs usually quite tappy? |
