147 1.6: Rattling at low revs
Hi all,
since three months I have my first Alfa (and my first car at all :-)), a used 147 with the 1.6 Eco engine, three years old and ca. 30000 km on the clock. Sometimes, after the travel, when the car is pretty warmed up, and I want to stop it, I hear a noise that make's me thinking: I've read that this motor has casually problems to provide the hydraulic tappets (I think that's the same like "Hydro-Stößel" in German) with enough oil. I heard this sound two or three times quite loud and it disappeared after some meters driving. But the noise I want to describe has a similar frequency and timbre, but not so loud. Could that also be the hydraulic tappets, but with nearly sufficient oil pressure? Or are the hydraulic tappets rattling only loud? Thank you a lot for your comments, Rüdi |
