Metallic noise on the Opel Corsa
Years 2006-2014

Answer

If your Opel Corsa D makes a clang when the engine is cold, especially in the first few meters, don't worry. These are the hydraulic tappets, which make noise because the oil is not yet under pressure. Therefore it does not require any maintenance.
