From what I have found they are hydraulically adjusted.
I'll be honest and admit I know sod all about this engine.
Googling the part number came up with a set for about 70 euro, and could well sort it.
I've only ever changed a set on my old ford CVH engine and it made it much quieter.

Have you tried changing the oil? hydraulic tappets can be sensitive to oil quality and grade.
