Right Peeps, Your help is Required just before you all go out & enjoy yourself for the evenin.

I've got a MY99 turbo, what I need to know is....Does YOUR motor when idling tap/tick a bit??

To find this out you may need to open the bonnet & have a listen at the front of the engine. (Which would be much appreciated!!)

When I have mine idling I'm getting a tick..tick..tick constantly :confused:, when on normal driving I don't here a dicky bird. All sounds sweet.

Just a little worried about this and need your help...Please??

Cheers Folks.
