Title: Replacing Hydraulic lifters i30 crdi
Post by: MarkandNat on September 09, 2017, 04:31:49: Hi everyone

Has anyone had to replace hydraulic lifters? I have a 2011 i30 crdi and I think my lifters are noisy. they make a tapping noise on low rev acceleration. I changed from full synthetic oil to a 15W40 semi synthetic oil and the noise is less noticeable which to me indicates faulty hydraulic lifters. Does anyone have similar problem? 150,000km

15w40 in 2011 probably with DPF? Non c3 oil? Your mechanic must be crazy as rock

With the petrol ones running quiet it took me a while to get used to the diesel one. I remember the older diesel vehicles in my youth clanking away. Mine has just Been fully serviced if anything wrong I would have been told about it. Just drive it and enjoy. My hooter now working peep peep.
