its a lifter. i can put my life on it. How many miles has ur car got. Vauxhalls are notorious for this. Like miles says. Its the thickness of the oil. Try flushing ur engine oil with that engine flush u get from halfords. Think STP do a range of stuff, then change the oil and filter. If it dont go away then do what miles says, Take them out and replace them. | |

How does the timing being wrong make a noise when its cold anyway? | |

mine has always had a ticking noise in it from 10000 miles, been back to vaux more times than i can remember, got over 40k on now and it dosent seem to do the engine any harm i wouldnt worrie to much about it, just make sure your timing belt and tensioners are ok, apart from that, dont worrie or try some slick 50 oil treatment. | |

yep most probably the hydraulic lifters. | |

It will be lifters. Just because they are self adjusting doesn't rule them out. | |

maybe the hydraulic lifter's taping due to the oil being thicker when cold | |

engine makes annoying ticking noice when cold, which goes when warm. ive ruled out tappets cos they're self adjusting, and timing belt cos the sound stops. any suggestions would be gratefully received |
