GarethHa35 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hope some one can help. I have a 2007 Fiesta 1.25 Ztec started to get a tapping sound when driving about and sometimes when stationary ( the sound would come and go). Happened just before it went for service, so had said to garage about it. So, after it got serviced, oil filter changed, engine flush and oil change. Garage said they think it Hydraulic taps and sound should go away. Now 2 weeks later, still having the tapping sounds. Any help?? garage closed at the minute for holidays.

Russ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Did they use 5-30 oil at the oil change as the hydraulic lifters need it! Also, how many miles has the car done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethHa35 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 yeah they did. has 64,000 miles on it. few friends have said a good clean of the taps would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzell Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi, I remember this when i had a Mk3 Ford escort. Turned out to be a cracked exhaust manifold.It sounded just like a dodgy tappet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
