A Local neighbour has been a mechanic for the GPO for years and i was telling him about the one sticky tappet i have on my T5
He suggested putting half a litre of gearbox oil in the top, letting it soak for a couple of minutes and then running the engine for 10 minutes on tick over before doing an oil and filter change with a good quality oil.
Is it a good idea or not ? i dont fancy trying it and having even more problems.
But at the same time the bloody ticking is really loud sometimes and does my head in big time and im ready for trying anything IF its not going to fubar something in the process.
Cheers guys
