yea it will be tappets probably pal
to quote from wiki: On a 4-cylinder engine the tappets failure is extremely noticeable, causing reduced idle speeds and increased shuddering as the vehicle's engine attempts to keep running with a quarter of its engine power missing.

does it sound like your car?
