Hi guys,
My GTi 180 has done 65k and tapping right through the rev range...
The oil is not a problem, I'm thinking tappets? But aren't they auto ajusted?
Is there a heat shield problem or mani rattle the same as the 138? Baffle rattling?
I'm stumped as to what it is...going to change the oil and filter soon, just need a rough idea what you reckon it is....
Cheers guys

Could be lots of things. If it was the engine have you noticed any drop in power?
If its the tappets you can get some tappet flushing fluid which may help when you change the oil. A tapet going is quite unlikely though unless you car has been sitting around not running for a LONG time.
Check the heat plate at the back of the engine covering the manifold.

To be honest, it felt a lot quicker when I first got it, now it seems a bit sluggish...I've searched through all the other threads and can't find any answers...I'm just worried that there is a massive payout coming my way...
