hi guyz,

i have a Mitsubishi magna SE 92' (4 cylinder, 2.4litre) and i have noticed that when the car is idle or while driving it makes like a tapping kinda noise? i have no idea wat it is... friends have told me its the tappets...? i noticed when i chucked some new motor oil (was pretty much full when i put i topped it up anywayz) in that the noise was fixed...?? i get this thing serviced regularly but have forgotten 2 mention it to the mechanic...

so do u guys have any idea what it could be?

Thats exactly what mine did.... tapping at idle, took it to the mechanic and he told me i had no oil in it....... very embarrasing. so check your oil!!!
