Default Valves adjustment in Audi 90 V6.

While on an idle engine, I can hear some clicking sound coming from the engine. Looks to me like it is a valve/s which needs some adjustment. I also can hear valve/s making noise while I accelerate my Audi 90 V6. I am planning to open the engine cover this weekend and see what is going on inside, but just in case I need to do some adjustment, I would love to get some advices and tech specs regarding on how to do it and what I should be concern about.

Any help and tips will be greatly appreciated. Jacek

Hm I can try that, but is it possible that one valve may be bent or something. it doesn't seem to be right the clicking noise. I do not recall hearing that before, and the valves noise while accelerating...

Default Agreed. Ya done good. There is no better, more comprehensive answer

and it gives them the link for any follow up questions related to this as well as unrelated/subsequent questions. It's win/win for them and us.

How did you copy/paste/link it with first page results?

Default do a search, right click on the results content page, select properties, copy the whole url, paste

done!

that'll copy the page and the results with the key words you put in.
