Hi, I've listed this in the general section as the problem I have on my 2005 Stilo could be linked into other models using the same 1.6 engine.

The car in question is a 2005 20,000 mile Stilo 1.6.....at idle you can hear a noticeable tapping coming from the top end of the engine....cam belt side of the engine.

Will go when engine is rev'ed....either that or its tapping so quickly it just becomes back ground engine noise. Also when accelerating from low speeds, when the engine is under load, the sound comes back and sounds like pinking, ie pre ignition.

Has anybody come across this before....to me it sounds as if it could be any of the following, cam shaft knock, sticky hydraulic lifter, sticky engine valve......any thoughts.

So far im not impressed, seeing as its only done 20,000 miles.
