2001 Sedona V6 Petrol EXEC

[Hosa]

I know, it's jucey to run but when I bought the car the demo auto diesel felt like the handbrake was on, still I've done 62k since new and only had problems recently, however I do wish KIA UK would return my calls.

First problem I had was last year (April) which turned out to be the head gasket going, I had this done with various other things that should be sorted whilst the engine was stripped down. Now I have what appears to be noisey tappets, I saw the Kia dealer who just reset my Engine management light and gave me a bill, when I asked if the noise had gone they said it was the oil not reaching them (being hydrolic) I'm very disappointed since I took the car into the Bognor Dealer to rectify the problem and it's still there, even more annoying is the light has come back on!

I understand that you can get an additive to the oil which sorts out the tappets, anyone experienced this and had success, even more helpful would be what you used and where to buy it?

Regards Hosa

PS If anyone knows of any good independent service dealers along the Sussex/Hampshire area I would appreciate this.
