Heya everyone,
I've just spent an hour looking around this forum as a new member and can see this place will be a great resource in future... however I haven't found any posts relating to my particular problem so here goes:
Vehicle: 2002 311 CDI with 170K on the clock
I have a tapping and clunking sound coming from the engine bay whilst under acceleration, the slightest touch of the accelerator introduces this noise which increases with the revs...
The noise disappears when I step off the power or when in neutral.
There was a lack of power but the garage fitted a new transducer valve, heat plugs and fixed a fault that had an oil symbol flashing on the dash with 'HI' flashing underneath it... which has it running like a dream, apart from this noise... the garage also claimed the noise was being caused by a badly fitted exhaust which they have fixed but none of this work has fixed the noise...
As I say she's driving lovely at the minute so I wonder whether theres any real cause for worry but tapping and clunking rings my alarm bells every time!
Any help on offer would be greatly appreciated, please help!
many thanks, Ian
PS: I just spoke to the garage and they say they ran a full diagnostic and the only stored codes that came up reported that the transducer valve and the heat plugs needed replacing. No other codes came up... so they think the vehicle is fine...
