if the oil is at the right level why are my valves tapping?

Question

2006 car

Answer 1

when is the last time you changed the oil? And are sure the level is correct? If it is a 2006 it has hydralic lifters and if the car sits for awhile they leak down witch is normal. Try running better gas through it a couple times to see if that helps you may be hearing a noise that is called engine ping alot of the newer cars are desighned to be so efficient that if you get some cheap gas they will ping really bad under a load try checking those things and if it doent clear up then take it to a dealer and have it checked

Answer 2

Cars and engines in my view are not made like they use to be. I would if i were you if it is under warranty which it should be. Take your car to the dealership and tell them what it is doing. They should be able to help you out. If it is still under warranty then you are more then likely not looking at that much money. If there is a warranty or if it does not cover this then you are looking at a good bit of money.

Answer 3

Motor is about to let go. You need to get it in to a dealer to be looked @ espec since it has a warranty all u will have to pay is your deductible on it. sounds like the valves are bad or you need the lower end redone.

Answer 4

You could probably say the engine once to talk with you. KNOCK< KNOCK. The valves are about to give up get them fixed ASAP.
