jimbo8 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I've had my VVC engined roadsport for about 2 months now - and don't know if its me, but are these engines quite "clattery" normally. Obviously, there's no sound insulation under the bonnet so there's going to be abit of engine noise anyway - but are VVC engines normally abit "tappety"?

pinstripe pete Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Agh I'm in unchartered waters replying on Techtalk but here's me' penn'worth. 😬 Yes, I believe VVC is clattery on start up, especially if it hasn't been used for some time. I believe it's something to do with the hydraulic followers not getting the full serving of oil to begin with. Mine certainly clatters away for a few minutes. I hope 'they all do that sir' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightymetros Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 They can seem a bit tapperty, but the last time mine was tappety 'constantly' it turned out the vvc control bit was knackared. Im sure Dave Andrews has loads lying around as he takes that many off for solid cam conversion 😬 😬 😬 sacha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's not just one of the injectors is it? One of mine clatters like a good 'un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom7 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 The constant ticking is the VVC mechanism. Some are louder than others. Don't worry too much they all do that sir! It is not a reflection that anything is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
