As above.
My mk4 Astra 1.4 16v has developed a slight tappet tapping noise.It only does it when the engine is up to temp,but it dosnt do it all the time.When it does do it,giving it some throttle cures it.

Any idea's??Will be doing an oil change in the next week as the oil in it the now has seen better days.
