Noisy engine when cold
Hi All,
Have just joined Scooby net after searching the net & think it is full of really good info.
l have a UK 99 turbo with 48,000 on the clock, have had it for 4 years & constantly puts a smile on my face.
Car has a FSH from Bell & Colvill (Guilford), although it has just been serviced l have noticed that it is a bit clattery when cold but after 4-5 miles quietens down & purrs like they should do.
l,m guessing that it is lack of oil to a tappet bucket (or whatever the have)
Any idea's if it can be cured or is it a major engine job.
Thanks in advance

Could be the cam belt tensioner. It's quite common for these to become noisey on MY99/00 (and even newer).
The plungers can start to fail and the belt goes slightly slack overnight. The tapping sounds is the tensioner bouncing as it re-primes.

I get it a bit on MY00 car.
Tis normal so I hear from people on here and my local subaru specialist.
As long as its gone by the time the car warms up it shouldnt be a problem.
Still a little annoying though.

Thanks for all your info, cam belt was changed 13 month's ago with a new tensioner fitted.
At least it sounds like i'm not looking at a large garage bill
Many regards
