Engine chatter

bryce · 24-02-2009, 01:16 PM

Had a listen to my engine on sunday when I was giving the car a wash, and noticed a slightly chattering noise coming from it. To me it sounds slightly like tappets, and it increases in speed as the revs go up.

I think its always done it since owning the car, but the service manager is calling in on thurs (warranties out on monday

)

Mark, Gary and Derek had a listen to it an Knockhill cos I wanted them to check the Vanos was sounding OK.

Is it normal that there'd be a slight chattering? Or should I push the dealer to strip it down?

Cheers.

ps. Ive got a vid on my phone, which is crap quality, but gives an idea. If anyone wants a listen, PM your email.
