Title: Golf MK5 GTI - Tappets
Post by: briniuk on March 23, 2010, 11:28:26 pm

Hello,

The tappets on my Golf gti 48k seems quite loud - whats the process of quietening them down!

I presume it would have to go into a garage for the old oil to get squeezed out??

As far as I can tell, they're all like this regardless of age.

The solution is to either add more sound proofing, or turn up the music  :grin:

Think it's down to the ''direct'' injection, they all make a bit of a ticking sound.
