Alm Gti said:those pesky bullshitters.. that opens up another question.. how often should the clutch fluid be changed? I have only had the oil done on mine.. never bothered with the nissan service.. figured when buying the car 4 years ago that it would not be worth much by the time I sell it so as long as the oil and filters are done not too much else will need attention.
rowdy-GTi said:Neil, this tapping noise unless very loud is quite normal for the gti as the injectors are quite noisy.
Tried bleeding the lifters?
You also don`t need full syn unless you race or rag the car silly.
scotz said:well for my 2pence worth changed the oil to magnatec and gimmick or not the rattle is severely reduced yes its till there but not noticable with the bonnet down
5W30 is too thin for your engine, use 10w30 or 10w40PNR_Neil said:yeah trying Castrol magnatec 5w30 today, cant beat the good stuff.
