Hi,
On my Spanish Megan 1.5dci, every time I start the engine after 5 seconds there is a tapping noise thet lasts 15 seconds that seems to originate from behind the glove box. Sometimes the same noise happens when the engine is switched off. Has anyone any ideas as to what is causing this noise?

Check the oil!
Silver 08 plate 5dr 1.5dci Dynamique 106 Tech Run (re-mapped)
Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120
Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

The noise can be coming from the vacuum pump, which is on that side.

I was going to say it was the tappets but you say it also makes the noise with the engine off?
