I have a 2004 panda 1.2 8v with 70k on the clock, and I’ve owned it since it had 30k on the clock.
My question is how important is it to check valve clearances?
If they are not checked what possible damage could occur?
Also how difficult are they to check?
How much would it roughly cost at a garage?
I ask this because lately the engine started to sound more 'tappety' than usual at idle and it is more pronounced at around 2500 RPM.
Many thanks.
