A4 3.2 Convertible Engine Noise

[tomp]

Hi, I have a 3.2 A4 Convertible first registered Nov 2007. A noise has developed from the engine which increases when increasing load on the engine. If it were an old ohc engine then you would think that your tappets needed adjusting. When idling you can hear it tapping away. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the fix?

thanks, Tom

This sound is normally quite a big issue and unless you're a skilled mechanic I wouldn't try to fix this yourself. Unfortunately I have no better advice than to take it to a garage or a dealer.
