Lifters.

[Grouty]

Hi guys

I recently bought a astra excite 1.4 2014 and the engine was noisy (tapping) any suggestions what this is an how to fix it. 

The cars only done 58000 miles and in good condition.

First thing I would advise is an oil flush and change the oil and filter as well.

This usually cures the rattle if hydraulic tappets are slightly blocked with carbon build up

Also, could be injectors rattling but this is usually somewhat quiet.

Check also it is not timing chain/belt tensioners, etc
