How to check and maintain the valve lifter if it becomes excessively noisy on 2016 Audi A3?

Valve lifters are self-adjusting and need no maintenance, but if noisy, check their operation. Run the engine to normal temperature, remove the camshaft cover, and rotate the camshaft. Press the lifter down and check free travel. If excessive, renew the lifter. For recurring noise, replace the oil retention valve.
