Saxo vtr hydraulic tappets....is adjustment possible?

[VTRfan]

Hey guys of course another issue with fixing something haha.
Just wondering. Now ive been told my tappets are hydraulic.
But can i adjust them myself as i really dont want them replaced.
Also if i can are there any shops i could buy the tool from as i was looking at fixing a few problems tomorrow.

8v is not hydraulic, 16v is and are self adjusting, all you need is a set of spanners, screwdriver and a feeler gauge set.

oh and a haynes manual.

Thanx for the reply. I only say they are hydraulic as i got told at a garage that they were :s.
I dont know if i wanna go messin about with it if im being told 2 different things about it not saying anyone is wrong but hard to tell if we cant see lol.
Can i get hold of feelers easy enough or is it going to be a case of ordering some?
Ive seen on another thread that vtr's need adjusting to 0.20mm on the inlet and 0.40mm on the exhaust.
Is that about right?

Also how do i tell the difference between hydraulic tappets and normal ones?

[welshpug]

you have rockers with a bolt and locking nut on the end, hydraulic tappets in most pug engines sit directly under the cam with no rockers.


get to a motorfactor.
