usernumber1234 Member 47 Member For: 12y 1m 5d Posted 15/07/14 05:47 AM Share Posted 15/07/14 05:47 AM Ok team I am having some engine problems and struggling to diagnose the issue. All I can explain is the problem not how it happened as a mate had it when it happened...So there is a serious rattle/knock coming from the engine at idle. Rev and it goes away. I took all the plugs out and turned it over and it sounds perfect. Put 1 plug in any cylinder and there is a knock/rattle once per cycle. All plugs means more rattle.Took the rover cover off and cam chain is fine. All valves look fine.Rattle is only there when compression is there. Im thinking not bearings because it is all cylinders and it happened all of a sudden. Any suggestions on what to check?CheersEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usernumber1234 Member 47 Member For: 12y 1m 5d Posted 15/07/14 05:58 AM Author Share Posted 15/07/14 05:58 AM Mechanical. Occurs with only 1 plug in and no coils and at starter motor speed as a clunk once per cycle. Start it and it turns into a mechanical rattle. Thought maybe it was the whole engine/turbo rattling against engine bay at first but is defs engine related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usernumber1234 Member 47 Member For: 12y 1m 5d Posted 15/07/14 07:47 AM Author Share Posted 15/07/14 07:47 AM Id give that one a 7. Bonus point if it happened at 60+kph and there was a noice oil slick. Bf mkii upgrade with about 102ks. 300kws if that. Pretty much no boost was running.
