Depends how loud they are, if you cant put up with their noise then its not going to be cheap to fix unfortunately. If your willing to do the DIY for it then it'll be cheaper.

Thanks guys, i shall search it up, but maybe not DIY, not that great of a mechanic myself and dont want to make things worse ^^ i think i just need a major service since it just went past 90000kms ^^

yeah i got my major 100,000 service done at about 90,000Kms mainly cos tappets had been a little noisy for a fare while, doesnt do any harm to get the service done earlier than 100,000 and it makes a difference car feels much smoother after i got it done,

yip if ya got a major to do and your not to keen on it yourself then pay the extra and get it done in 1 hit if you can afford it
if not dont panic they can be done anytime as you dont need to remove timing belt etc to change these

and the timing belt or major service is much more important then noisey tappets
by the way do you have GPX or GR?
if GPX just need adjusting, if GR you need to replace

Something I have always forgotten to ask, is a 6A13 the same as the GR (as in replacement needed, I assume yes) or the same as a GPX (as in just adjust)? I am badly needing this done haha
