Tappety tap tap...

[k-ink]

I've been driving with my windows down today and barely noticed a very feint tappet noise when pootling along. I never noticed it before with the windows up. My 145 Cloverleaf has just had it's major service and cambelt done. Oil is fresh and up to max. I gave it an italian tune up along some country lanes, but it is still there.

Is this ok? Maybe I'm being really fussy

Only common thing that causes rattles on the 145 is the variator, mainly on start up. Have heard them rattle when warm though. Tappety kind of noise. I take it you had this changed when the cambelt was done?

Nice car by the way, i'm looking for one.

If it's a very faint clicking noise it may be the injectors.
