Thanks Rob mine did it very slightly when I first had the car, changed the oil and filter , it has never reoccured ,.Probably hydraulic cam chain tensioners not kicking in untill oil got round..

Sylvester Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Or did you get the diesel version ? (Sorry) Maybe something is loose like a heat shield that when it gets warmed up and expands a bit stops rattling ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pyro on the other side got the diesel version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traktion Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I used to get this too occasionally. Since I've had my oil changed though (for some nicer stuff too tbh), it's not done it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
