02 2.0 hpi (petrol) noisy tappets. - jps44
I have a citroen c5 2.0 hpi petrol that sounds like a diesel when cold gets worse when warm, the noise sounds like really noisy tappets. so far i have engine flushed, new oil and filter,removed cams inspected hydraulic tappets can find no faults.i have replaced crankshaft pulley,also replaced exhaust cam dampening pulley,and timing belt,+ tensioner. the only thing i have not changed is the inlet cam pulley, to me this seems to be where the noise generates, but before i spend another £280 on this one,as citroen say they have no problems with them, is there anyone that has had a similar problem.
forgot to mention noise gets better when the car is revved hard.

Update, spoke to a citroen technician today,he said that the 2.0hpi engine sounds tappety like a diesel worse on some than others. Can't believe this has anyone else experienced any problems with these engines. Any advice welcome.
