Why is my Vauxhall Zafira Life's engine making a tapping noise?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Zafira Life's engine has been making a tapping noise lately. It only happens when the car is running, and the noise seems to get louder as the engine speed increases. What could be causing this issue?

It sounds like you may have a problem with your engine's lifters. They could be worn out or gummed up with deposits. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

I've had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Zafira Life before. It turned out to be a loose valve train. This could be caused by a worn out camshaft or valve stem seals. Take your car to a trusted mechanic to get it checked out.

Make sure to also check your oil level and change the oil if needed. Low oil could cause this tapping noise, and changing the oil regularly can prevent future engine problems.
