I have a pug 406 coupe 2L with 65k on, I have started noticing a tapping or
metalic clanking during acceleration which matches the revs of the engine. It

touching up scratches) painting techniques. Been flicking through google

A friend of mine owns a 2000 Saab 9-3 2.0t, but the problem is that of late,
