Hi all,
Bought a new (for me) 2014 GTC in Feb and love it!
However, I've noticed that on cold the engine ticks for around 15-30 seconds on cold, then dies down but can still be faintly heard. When cold it's so loud I can hear it from inside the cabin with all the windows shut.
I've got a 2-year warranty so have taken it back and Vauxhall told me that it's normal for the model? I've spoken to an independent mechanic and he's convinced it's tappits even though I've been told they're hydraulic on these cars...
Though Vauxhall tell me I shouldn't be, I'm obviously worried about it. It's only done 12k!
Please could anyone comment with their thoughts? Is it normal? Should I get a second opinion?
Thanks!
