Hi,
Please can someone help, my w202 has been making some strange noises. I have been told that this sounds like the tappets need adjusting, I am a little confused as I thought on the w202 these were self adjusting, I have read several post concerning, the tappets, but I have not seen any mention of if they are self adjustable, if they can be adjusted does anyone have any idle of the clearance ?. I have read that they can be "sticky", is there no way of releasing them using a type of lubercant ?, also can someone tell me where they are located, are they under the engine cover ?, how many are there ?, I have looked up the price on Euro Car Parts, their around £16.
Please forgive the really stupid questions, but I am not a Mechanic, I have owned this car for 11 years plus now, I always had it serviced at MB in Bristol, but I can't afford it these days, hence why am here.
Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appericated.
Thanks in Advance
