RARE SOUND FROM THE DIESEL FILTER

Post by zigobi »

I´m having a rare constant mid-treble horned sound coming from the IN-PIPE of the diesel filter.
It mostly shows in the morning while engine´s still cold.
Sounds like a vibration and stops if car´s temp is over 70 degrees.
I´ve removed the 2 pipes from the filter and while rebuilted seems to dissapear but this morning I heard it again ( half loud than before ).
:roll: :roll: :roll: ?¿
Thanks a lot

I presume yours are Bosch filters because they're earlier, I was also getting a noise from my Mahle filter when the weather was cold, I'm not sure if there are any valves in there but the only choice is to change it (about 70€) or ignore it until it does something more annoying.

In winter, there's a thermostatic element (somewhere :? ) that directs fuel via the thermostat housing (I think) to pre-heat the fuel to further raise combustion efficiency.

On a cold winter's morn you will mostly hear a kinda 'sing' from the filter housing on initial ignition-on.

I'm selling a used filter housing, worked fine as a backup for my old 406.

But it is the 2 port type with the ribbed Siemens-style top. (ie. NOT Bosch hexagon).

Yes . you´re right.
The noise exactly appeared as soon as the first low temperatures appeared.
As you say , no problems are noted while driving.
Thanks to the members that answered me too .
