St170 tapping noise
Hi,
Only just started doing it.
Sounds like its possibly coming from cambelt sort of area. So hard to tell.
When car is started it starts basically making a tapping noise. When car is warm it stops.
Could this be tappets or injectors.
Please help

Seen a few of the timing belt plastic pulleys crack causing noises like this, recommend removing the timing belt cover to take a look, better safe than sorry.
