GTV Tapits Help Needed
Im hoping you can help, I own a Alfa GTV which has been causing me
some problems just of late. There is a ticking noise coming from the engine, I have taken it to a garge in Nuneaton who told me it must need a new cam-belt and tentioner which i had fixed. But after £400 it still makes the same noise. Can anyone recommend a good machanic in the Nuneaton/Coventry area. I have been told it needs new tapits, im not sure how expensive this job is but could do with you help finding someone to do it. Many Thanks Dave Oliver |

These have hydraulic tappets. These generally do not fail. (replacement would mean camshafts out and new belts again) Use of poor quality oil (or not changing or running low) will cause camshaft lobe wear which may be the sound you can hear. You may also be able to hear the injectors, which may be the sound you can hear but is not a problem. If you have a 2.0 16V, when they replaced the cambelt, did they also replace the balance shaft belt & tensioner? As for somewhere to take it, W.A.D. in Wolverhampton would be the best place in your area. -- David C 156 Selespeed sp3 + Brembo conversion |
