My wife has just bought a 2001 Holden Vectra 2.2 automatic GL. it goes well but is idling very roughly and making a tapping sound. The Vectra has plenty of zip and everything works OK. However it is idling very roughly, hesitating and missing but it has never cut out altogether.It also makes a distinct tapping noise,which obviously would be tappet noise I assume.
We have had the car for three weeks now, and it hasn't let us down. Would a tune up such as new spark plugs and injector clean fix the idling problem do you think? As far as the tapping, if the tappets need repair/replace or whatever they do would that be a major and expensive repair. Regards.
