Fominas

So update on the car Changed the oils to 5w40w 502 vw spec Changed the air filter, the old one was completely black Changed the fuel filter, very dirty petrol came out After the oil and filters the car is purring like a kitten, took it for a drive and havent heard the noise atleast for now, and also now the engine runs much better no twitching in low rpms and power came back as well now it really feels like a 68hp engine and its quite a fun little car, thanks for the help guys

No worries, it quite interesting, and you are trying to help me and i'm very glad, On friday im getting back to the car i will probably change the oil and filters and i will update you on the car. Cheers

And also, what oil should i put in her?

I will upload information later about the engine, but i have this question. The car was sitting for some time i do not know for how much exactly, and certainly i do not know about when the oil was changed. Now if it is really the lifters at fault, should i first change the oil? I bring this question because if the ticking noise has to do something with the bottom end i really do not want to invest in this engine because buying another one would probably be cheaper, so what are your suggestions, should i go with the oil change first or wait until i provide you with videos and photos of the engine

the noise is quite similar as in this video

but its quite hard to accept that because the noise is quite noisy, i can even hear it in the seat when driving without music for example, i will look what codes pull up and update the post

Hello recently i bought a skoda fabia 2001 1.4 8v. After the purchase the car developed a ticking noise. It is still apparent when the car is hot, and it is apparent from 800 to 2500 rpms. after that the noise almost disappears. Did and obd check and there a few faults and uploaded the file, every fault code clears up and i will do a check on friday to see what codes appear again. Also the battery was dead when i bought it. So what could cause the ticking noise? There is enough oil in the engine, however the engine seems low in power and the engine twitches in low rpms. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful
