'98 Volvo S40 T4 lifter?
I have an '98 S40 T4, when I start the engine when cold it runs very quiet but after 30 seconds a hollow tapping noise starts to apear, almost like something hollow with oil in it..hard to say, anyway, when the engine is at normal operating temp the sound goes away and runs very quietly again. Can this be a hydrolic valve lifter and should the head be taken off to fix or can the use a special tool? can I change my 20W50 oil to synthetic oil and what type as I live in South Africa where its kinda hot.. My car has got about 70 000 miles on now.Any replies will be much appreciated. Thanx.
