[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 22027, member: 20757"] Hey guys,Need your help. Took a long drive to Singapore over the Malaysia Day holidays. The car was left idle in the hotel car park for 3 days - possibly the longest time the car has been left undriven since I've gotten it.When I started the car in the morning before my drive home this morning, I noticed the engine was making this funny tapping noise - as if the valve tappets were not adjusted properly. The sound gradually got softer until it disappeared completely once the engine reached operating temperature. Nothing else seemed to be amiss - no warning lights, no loss of power....Anyone know what this could mean? :frown: [/QUOTE]
