Hi there,
My wifes 2002, 1.2 8v Doblo, is experiencing something a little wierd that I hope someone can help with.
When you start it from cold, it tends to tap - EXACTLY like a hydraulic tappet, and then if you turn it off and start it again, 99.9 times it runs smooth as silk, again I though pointing to a tappet.
I have now been told its actually got buckets and shims and not hydraulic tappets at all!!!
I guess I am still looking at the clearances, but before I start, is there possibly something else I should check?
Appreciate any help.
