I wont touch 16v engines anymore - more trouble than their worth. My old GSi used to drink oil - 1 litre every 800 miles.

Is it a ticking or a knocking?

Ticking is maore a topend noise and knocking is more a bottom end nose!

How fast it the noise and it is definitely coming from the head when you pop the bonnet when idling?
