RE:Tapping

These are your lifters when theyre cold and lack oil. I would reccomend getting
them changed but after talking to many VW people, mechanics and the like, they
said its a 16V prob and will redevelop after 30,000miles. However I still say
get them changed anyway. Itll give you a chance to see those beautiful dual
overhead cams at least.......

During cold starts, and sometimes on other occasions my car decides to
make a very annoying, and worrying tapping noise. My car is an 87' 16v
Rocco. The noise sounds like it's coming from the valves or something,
and typically goes away after a little while, or giving it a little more
gas. Common problem ? Is this just a VW Scirocco problem, or is it a
serious problem with my car?
