Hi,
I got my friend to change the oil and filter on my 2016 1.6 cdti today. We used the genuine Vauxhall parts. The first time I started the engine afterwards there was a pretty nasty metallic clattering noise. Switched it off and back on again it seemed fine. I drove home, stopped at a shop for 5 minutes and started again fine. I started it again an hour later and the clattering noise was back. Left it for about 3 hours to cool down, didn't make quite the same noise the next time but idled very rough and loudly for about a minute before it dropped to the normal idling sound. Took a video of the last start up if it helps... file is too large to transfer from my phone easily though!
I've been looking online for an answer, it seems common for the first start to be a bit rough, but fine after that. Or when it's not it's because the wrong oil or filter were used, so I'm a bit stumped tbh.
PS my friend services and rebuilds engines for a living so I don't think he's made any rookie mistakes.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas
