I recently purchased a Vauxhall Crossland and have noticed that when I start the engine, it makes a ticking noise. Is this normal or should I be concerned? What could be causing this? Thank you for your help.
ReplyHi Anna, thanks for reaching out. The ticking noise you are hearing is most likely caused by a faulty valve lifter. It's a common issue with the Crossland's engine and can be easily fixed by a mechanic. I recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary. Don't worry, it's not a serious issue but it's best to address it sooner rather than later. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey Anna, I also have a Crossland and experienced the same ticking noise. After doing some research, I found out that it could be caused by low oil pressure. Make sure to check your oil level and if it's low, top it up. If the noise persists, I recommend taking it to a mechanic for further inspection. Hopefully, it's just a simple fix like it was for me. Good luck!
Hi Anna, I've owned a Crossland for a few years now and have had the same issue with the ticking noise. I've found that using a high-quality synthetic oil has significantly reduced the noise. I recommend switching to a synthetic oil and see if that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
