#1: Rattle top end of 1.6 Petrol Author: stormwalker, Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2015 11:47 am ---- Hi,
I seem to have a problem, there is quite a loud top end rattle coming from the top of the engine, do these cars suffer from rocker issues? Don't think it has lost power noise came on as I was driving it but not drop in power/ shudder etc.
Also is it a big job to have a look, I can see about 10 x 10 mm nut should I have a quick look?
Any ideas what it could be, like the pug, its done 115k and 2000 year.
Cheers and hello

Any idea where this rattle could be coming from?

1-Get an engine oil flush to get rid of all the carbon build up inside the engine.
2-get a new oil filter (OEM one)
3-Use a decent branded oil,and use 5W/40 synthetic .
4-also you can use an oil additive to make it better.
5-it worth to check the temp. of the engine,does it reach the ideal temp which is 90->

how can be an oil and filter change spending unnecessary money??,that is a small amount of payment compared engine change.

If nothing is changed you may have to replace the hydraulic rockers, this can be expensive so i would advise trying to pin point exactly were the noise is coming from before you shell out
