2.0 hdi 110 rattle

[johntl]

anybody got any ideas??
the car runs great , pulls like a train ,but my question is under hard accelleration it has a rattle it never had which can sound quite harsh!, under normal driving is as really smooth, when you put crank under full load, (full throttle in high gear, low revs) everything sounds fine.

If it sounds like diesel knock I would suspect injectors. There are some very cheap ones on ebay.

Cracking headache today (damn weather) but have a search for disintegrating crank pulley (could be nasty) or rattly injectors in the knowledge base.

thanks for the input,
had new crank pulley fitted last, so will search forum, never knew injectors could rattle, sounds like an easy fix!

cheers

Oh yes, piece of cake. Trouble is they're something like 300 quid a pop viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12408&p=110233&hilit=noisy#p110233

get some 076 injector as thay will not rattle and give a little batter economy

the 076 are the last 3 numbers in the injector code
