My Vauxhall Vivaro's engine recently started making a loud ticking noise. It seems to be coming from the top of the engine. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?
ReplyThe loud ticking noise could be caused by several different factors. One possibility could be that your engine's valves need to be adjusted. You may also have a damaged lifter or valve spring. It's best to take your Vivaro to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis and repair.
Another possible cause for the ticking noise could be low engine oil levels. Check your oil level and if it is low, top it off immediately. If the ticking noise persists, it's best to bring your vehicle to a professional for further inspection.
In some cases, the ticking noise could be caused by a loose or damaged engine component. Check your serpentine belt, spark plugs, and other engine components for any signs of wear or damage. If you're not comfortable checking these yourself, take it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.
