I have not had the pressure checked as I was told if the oil light goes out on start up, it is ok! My friend who owns his own garage took the sump off and found no sludge or anything like that. Tiny bit of swarf though. Still disheartening though. Bloody love my Bongo

Good evening all,

Has anyone had their hydraulic tappets replaced ? This tapping is bugging me know.

thank you for the advice, much appreciated. i will keep using her but keep an eye on it, it stops completely now when up
to temp. regards

I will check the oil pressure though, cheers

Thank you. My Bongo has only done 66000 miles though.

New oil and filter done and sounds a lot better. Still here it a bit so should I be concerned at all. Has anyone had success taking the sump off and checking the oil pick ups. This was also recommended

Many thx, I will try that.

Hi, would my 99 V6 have hydraulic Tappets as I have been told they have. They have become quite noisey on start up but stops when warm. Any advice please would be appreciated.
