What is the tapping noise on my bmw 316i engine,,any mechanics?
Answers:
Yes, vague.it could be a bad lifter. Does it go away? Does it just happen when it's cold? Is it coming from the valve cover? If it's coming from the valve cover, it's most likely a lifter (overhead valve?) but if it's coming from the block and it only occurs when it's cold, it's most likely a piston skirt. Really need more info. Good luck.
Does it go away when it is warm? Does the speed of the noise increase with the speed of the engine? It could be anything from a belt tensioner to you main engine bearings. Need more details. Thanks!
well you question is a bit vague, but most in likely the tapping is simply a valve depending on the year of your car a simple valve adjustment on all valves should make the tap dis-appear
