hi there,

i wondered if you can help me, when i turn the car on i have a tapping noise from under the bonnet, i opened the bonnet today and i thought it was the manifold, because i got told if the manifold is leaking then it could make the car tap and shake a little, i then listened a little closer and i think it is coming from the engine block, i just wondered if there was anything in the engine block that could be causing the car to make this noise and to make the car shake, another thing is that the car will sometimes cut out if it is left on idle for a couple of minutes,

many thanks,

daniel hughes

there could be numerous reasons for a tapping noise .. but on this year of vehicle if you suspect it is in the engine i would have a garage inspect the vehicle !
