ok only started this morning
started the car and i usually let the car sit for a few minutes before driving and i noticed a slight tapping noise ( i dont know anything about engines ) but sounded like the lifter at the rear was tapping and not getting any oil. With a bit of acceleration the tapping noise was faster and louder. I had to go to work and under idle couldn't hear anything but driving was pretty noisy. After a few minutes it did go away . I only work five minutes MAX away and by the time i got there it was gone.
Now before any comments on oil
It is regularly serviced ( only 4500km ago ) Six months
There is oil! And good quality clean oil!
It just sounds like the one isnt pumping any oil but after a few minutes the others lubricate this one up ??????????????????????????????????????????
There is no power loss ( that i can notice but i have driven it very carefully obviousley)
Any ideas what it is so i have an idea when i go to get it looked at on Monday
Any help Thanks
