Glad to hear the silver bullet issue is likely resolved. A most bizarre coincidence, so it seems. :-/

Just goes to show what a row a single lifter can make. :o

Agreed Kev - I had an awful noise on MaxV6's old car - this was exactly the same cause...

Lol, I thought it was lifter the first time I heard it.....do a few headgasket jobs and you soon get used to it!  ;D ;D ;D

Key lesson in this entire thread is that no key items were changed until after methodical diag had been completed  :y

About a year ago the wife took the Audi 80 TDi to Asda, did her shop, came back out, started the Audi and it sounded like a bag of old nails. She drove it home and left it for me to look at.

Turned out to be a knackered lifter. It had never shown any sign at all that it could be on the way out, it literally worked one minute then failled the next.

But to have one go at the exact moment you do all that work, well that really is the law of the sod!

Glad it appears to be sorted, well done to all those involved :y :y :y

I think that is what Kevin, Chris and I couldn't understand - it had to be something we had done, and a combination of late nights, long journeys (this happened at Kevin Wood's place) meant, certainly for me, tired eyes.  If I could have left it a couple of weeks, maybe coming into it fresh again may have been a better approach, and lose the notion that its had to be something we had touched.

I was keen to get it out of Kevin's way, as a couple of days after it happened, he had 'a moment' in his Westfield, and ideally needs his garage to strip that down to replace the chassis :o

just to satisfy my curiosity, when you removed the lifter did you check to see if the valve moved freely?
my thinking on this is if the valve was stuck/bent jammed etc it would blow the lifter seals ?

Valve moves quite nicely  :y

Ok, its all back together.....and runs with light lifter noise (Which it will do until the oil is circulated well and the new (to this engine) lifters are all sorted and settled in.

However, I have an air leak and an oil leak.....

.....so give me a clue guys, wheres the oil filler neck and cap!
