Peugeot 107 - Light Tapping from Engine

[OliverDavis]

Hello All,

I have a 2013 Peugeot 107 that has a light tapping noise on cold. Goes after 5 minutes. Is this normal?

Its a Dihatsu Engine, so I wouldnt really put it down for reliability any more than if Peugeot made it themselves.

I think all cars tap from cold, my girlfriends '07 Focus, my car is noisy as hell when cold.

Is it a new noise? or one you've just noticed? As it's such a new car you could take it back and get them to check it out.

Noise from about 1K, its now got 2.1K on it

The noise is inline with one of the pistons though, which is what worries me. I am a member on C1OC and a guy has just provided me with a recording of his when he had Piston Slapping. He recorded at 1200 miles, by 6000 miles it sounded like a diesel cold.

I will look in to it more.

Thanks
