Hi There ! Very new to forums but running out of ideas
I wondered if you have any thoughts on my problem with my GTI-6 It has a tapping noise coming from the head right below the oil filler cap which sounds like a tappet tapping but so far its had head gasket, timing belt,water pump, new inlet valves and guides and tappets and still tappeting right below the oil filler cap. Change oil spray bars still the same had an engine flush still the same.
Looking at the way the engine sit in the car the oil filler cap is the highest point the oil has to reach and thats also the cam bearing cap under oil filler gap that feeds the oil spray bar on that bank. The only thing i have not change is the oil pump or strainer in the sump
Any Ideas
I thought i would just ask ?
All the forums i have look at say i have a bent value or tight guide after a cam belt failure which has never happen
