The noise in the video sounds exactly like how my old shitty corsa b sounded when I had it 7 years ago. | |

Nothing to do with it being a 1.2, more the fact that is a mast produced cheap car that would probably run for thousands of miles over the standard service schedule. | |

Why? Keeping any engine as fresh and as clean as possible isn't a bad thing. | |

Nothing wrong with that... Preserves chain, oil is cheap as chips. | |

I put fully synthetic in my 1.0 when it was due an oil change, noticed that the chain rattle was way louder, put some semi back in it and it quietend down again. | |

Its drives fine, ticks over fine and the fuel economy is the same as it was at 36k miles when I got it(400 miles to a tank). | |

10w40 semi is better for these engines. change at least every 5k miles. | |

The very fine rattle is the cam chain/top end..The chuffing noise sounds like a leaking EGR/duff manifold. | |

My car has covered 58k miles and has been regularly serviced and until recently never noticed too much of a ticking noise. However I started to notice a ticking noise when the weather warmed up and I was driving with the windows down more. |
