Hey can anyone help,
When i first start my VT Berlina it has a very load ticking noise coming from the engine. It lasts a couple of minutes and gets quieter as it heats up.When then engine is warm it is quiet. What can it be...........

How many 's has it done? If its around 200k then the ticking is just general wear in the motor. Things not sitting like they use to as well etc. They all do it. If its really gettin to you i recommend using a valve silencer when you do oil changes, lasts for a few weeks..
