Now done over 350miles in my Mk1 uno Turbo, its going well, but have noticed the engine is very tappety, are they all like that?

The oil level is correct.

I will be servicing it this weekend. Might this help?

Any advice would be great.

:confused:
 
There engines are quite tappy sounding. The injectors can be noisy, sounding like loose tappets

Nice one, well thats put my mind at rest a bit.

Ill get the service on it and see how its likes the new oil. :worship:
 
I only found out a couple of months ago :eek:...

Someone called round with a rebuilt Mint Racing... I asked about the top end noise and was told its the Injectors :D.

And to think I was knocked down on price when I sold the MK2 tub on top end noise :mad: :eek: ;).
 
nice quality oil, i use a semi synth 10/50, works well, maybe stick an additive when topping oil up after, i seem to do, Ant!

I checked with the dealer and they advised 15/40, ill use that with a 1/4 bottle of a flush kit and when topping up illl use a 1/4 of the conditioner. I will be changing the oil regularly, as im not 100% sure of the last service date.

Its been in a garage for 3 years so, hopefully a good service will see it back up in power. :cool:
