Ticking

by **Quinlanar** » Sun, 16 Jun 2013 7:33 +0000

I have had my mk1 1.8 sitting up for a about 3 or 4 weeks and it has developed a ticking, ive read through other thread and the answer to this always seems to be change the oil and engine flush to sort it out but can anyone tell me if this stuff (http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/store ... 12351#tab3) helps or if its worth getting. I am planning an engine flush and change any advice on brands and oil types?

Yeah Wynns is good stuff.When you do change the oil use a light oil .5w30 I think is the one and get reasonable quality approx 35e for 5 ltr.

Going to 5w30 could cause the slightly worn oilseals to start gushing out oil. Havent put this to the test but I was warned by my friend whos a mechanic.
I stuck with good old 10w40 GTX Magnatec.

And here we go yet again, back to the good old 'BLACK GUNK' issue stuck on faulty seals and changing to a Fully-Synth oil :mrgreen:

Yes, best keep all that 'BLACK GUNK' on your seals in your engine lads :thumleft:

NOT
