When we did the oil change we did a engine flush 1st also. Yea so maybe there could be some gunk init when the oil change was done and new oil installed left for abit then started and it made the clattery sound so i turned of and thought wat hell is that started again still did it but went as soon as oil got round. Isit easy to check the cam follower?

Oh noooooooo :surprised: you should never ever use flush oil as this makes for a disaster in the engine. All the lubricated metal components will have lost there oil and the car will sound more rattly!!!
The high pressure fuel pump will need to come off and it's not easy here's a link courtesy of @ROH ECHT :signLOL: I followedit not realising who it was. a member off here :drinking:

I was told by a mechanic whos had vws for years that will be fine to do. Maybe thats why its like it is then.... Maybe
r5gtt:
I'm sure this is the reason why your cars tapping a lot more but if your saying it does smooth out then it could well be the oil flush. I'd still get the sump off and have a check if you thing it's more serious as there's no sound over here so harder to judge. I'm just going on your information :smiley:
