  1. Hi SuperDave, Yes noise hasnt gone away from the service. What should I do now? I thought a service would help but no avail :( I was thinking of buying some fuel injection flush to see if this helps or is there a better option or Recommend? Should I ask my mechanic to check the valves ? And what average cost would this set me back?
  2. Hi Kenshin It's a bit sluggish than before but not full on difference. I just serviced my car on the weekend in a Toyota service centre and the mechanic said it could be the Injectors. He serviced my car and put 10-30W Castrol, and used engine treatments to flush and clean. But when i got it back, the noise was still there and now more crisp sound on the ticking. So maybe my injectors are dirty? am not sure what to come of it

  5. Hi Kenshin, The noise was never there.. this has just come up. Other Stivo's i come across dont have this problem so to me its not common. If anyone else has usefull information i'd appreciate the reply :)
  6. Hi Noodle, Thank You for replying back!. I currently use FULL SYNTHETIC 5W-30 LONG LIFE ENGINE OIL from Nulon. I service my car my self every 5k, i change the Oil filter and use a engine flush all the time (Engine Oil Flush). i did my major service at 100k at toyota, and only after 4 changes it started to happen. Current at 125k so its due for another one but on previous oil changes i have not experenced this tappet noise before. The noise is excatly like a Ford Falcon's tappets going out or are dirty. I read on this forum that a oil change may make the noise louder or worst hence i havent dont it yet. So what i have done to try to and find the problem is use Lifter cleaner Lifter-Free and Tune-Up which thickens the oil to see if am lacking but noise hasn't gone away.+_+
  7. Hi All, I have annoying problem that has come up with my 12/2003 TOYOTA COROLLA (ZZE123R-GHFQFQ). The only way I can describe the problem is a "Tick-Tick" noise as you accelerate or idle, it reminds me of the FORD falcons or Fairmont’s Tappid noise. This noise comes after the car has warmed up and going, but initial engine start there is no noise. I have asked a mate who works in Toyota to ask around about the problem but his telling me the mechanics are puzzled as they are saying Corolla’s don’t have Tappid that make noise like that or are adjustable? It’s really hard for me to explain this as am not that good with mechanics but have a general idea. What I have tried is an additive to thicken the oil to see if it’s my oil being too thin and that it’s not covering the pistons or something. This did not work Lifter-Free and Tune-Up . "Does your car engine rattle or make a tick, tick, tick (ticking) noise On start-up? Lifter-Free & Tune-Up will help. It dissolves and dislodges harmful varnish and carbon deposits that accumulate within and around hydraulic lifters and cam followers without causing any damage to oil seals or gaskets." Can anyone relate to my problem and give me a general idea what I am dealing with? Would resetting my ECU help solve this problem or is it completely irrelevant? Btw I use BP Ultimate (premium) fuel if this helps. I was thinking of doing a full Oil change and Oil filter etc., but I read this might be a waste of time or make the noise get worst. Any help would be appreciated!! Cheers Mark
