Alright folks!

Right then.... ive got a Corsa C sxi Facelift done just over 3500 miles and currently im changing head units so i aint got no music

You all know how sick you get of listenin to the engine and everthing you hear makes you feel worried that summit is wrong with it

Its quite loud and has a ticking sound when idle from front left wing area.

Anyone else got same car with same noises? or if not do you think i should take it to get looked at?

Cheers

Cheers fella (about the ticking)

my mates got an older 52 plate corsa and his engine is alot quieter too
so you think the general noise level of the engine is just louder or should it be quiet?

the ticking maybe your hydraulic lifters, usually just tick on start-up but sometimes just start at random,failing that timing chain maybe slack
