Tapping

I have owned my P plate Scooby about 2 months now

It has done this 3 times now

You start it an its making a loud ticking noise which moves with the revs but it goes away in about 1 mile.

Check the video

Car isnt burning oil or any other fluids - Doesnt smoke, Hasnt lost power, starts 1 st time etc etc pretty healthy

Any ideas

Hmmm. The video is in fact an image.

As for the ticking I haven't got a clue. Sorry.

only occasionally mate as i say 3 times in 2 months now and only when stone cold an goes away after a mile or before that

From what i have been reading its a general tappety issue. And the other Imprezas i went to see did this aswell.
