check the cam belt mate, had this twice with mine and found that the edge of the belt was chewed up. When you rev it, it used to tap as it went round the pulleys. | |

I used to get this from time to time on my old 1.4 16v, just used to change the oil, problem solved. But, on one occasion it started making that noise, I changed the oil as usual and it still made the noise, decided to take to the garage, on the way there the cambelt snapped. £800 down the drain. | |

mine does this too, but my garage tells me it is a noise to do with the injectors and the fact that they are governed by solonoids? | |

If its not an internal engine noise check your spark plugs these tick if they earth with the body work or arc out as its called check these first if the noise isn't really loud | |

might be oil pump so oil isnt gettin round the head properly. ticking is usually the tappets. how many miles u done since the oil change.... i think its best u do it every three months atleast so might be worth a try with an engine flush at first as its the cheapest option. about £15 parts :thumbs: | |

when was last time u changed or checked the oil. that sound is made when the oil is gettin round the engine when u first start it. when mine first started to do this i gave it an engine flush and oil change and i was lucky it cured it. worse case is a new set of lifters or tappets or even the tappets reseated. | |
