Doblo 1.9D
Hi my Fiat Doblo 1.9D on a 51 plate as started to make a tapping noise from the engine its done 78,000 miles with no problems the noise is there all the time at any revs and stays the same hot or cold any ideas would be most helpful I have removed the cam cover and checked the spray bar seems to be getting oil up to cam and valve gear the van has had an easy life with regular oil changes. I have not yet replaced the cam belt or tensioner and it did have a coolant leak from some where around the timing cover but as a get me home fix rad weld was used and the coolant level as stayed constant so I left it alone.it sounds like a rough 899cc cinquecento with wornout hydrolic tappets,could it be that the shims need adjusting and are the shims the same as the old 132,128,x19ect?? regards xs1100e
