Tapping noise...
Can someone help me diagnose a tapping noise im getting under the bonnet?
Not sure if it happens when its cold but its still there when warm, comes from around half way back on the right have side of the engine bay. Isnt a deep noise more of a tappety Ford engine noise.
Any ideas? What can i do to diagnose it better?

are you sure its not just your injectors.
suabru engines are very noisy and I always used to think it was noisey tappets until I asked a techie to look at my engine and said it was a-ok.
