Hey there guys. New to the site. Joined because I just bought an 02 D2.
Making a knocking noise from the lower part of the engine. More audible from the side and underneath the car. Hit it with a stethoscope to make sure.
Only happens once the engine is warmed up. Only happens at idle speed and gentle acceleration. Goes away completely when decelerating.
The knock makes it sound like a diesel.
I am planning to remove the oil pan because it is due for an oil change anyways. Wanted to ask what in there specifically should I be checking for this kind of noise?
Any help/advice upfront would be appreciated.... I won't be dropping thousands of dollars and man hours to track down a knock that isn't hurting anything... currently.
Thanks.
