same with my 8v cost £219 for full set of lifters etc and high lift cam!!! fitted for free at relations garage but in the end it was worth it cuz its well quite now!!!!

my 8v sri also does this, on and off really. Needs an oil change anyway

:lol:

I'd be worried if the Festa ran totally quiet, then i'd know something was wrong :lol:

if its 8v then yes itll deffo do it

aint ecotek

i have had this problem with my 1.6 sport since there was 10000 miles on the clock, been back to vaux so many times for every part u can think of including a new engine and that makes a tickin noise aswell, i have come to conclude this ticking noise comes as standard with every ecotec engine... vaux tell me the warrenty file for my car is worth £7500 and still the ticking noise is there...

and ppl say ford tappets are bad.....

stereyotypes if you ask me..

but yes normally put thicker oil in itll quieten them down

might be the lifters

yeah my corsa c does this aswell :(

mines doin the same been told one of the hydralic lifer's have gone

na plenty oil, recent change. pretty sur eits the tappts, appart from the creaking thats something else
