Hi all,
after chasing one by one the different noises now another one has appeared:
D2 bosch engine 5 speed, 100K miles, original tappets and camshaft, oil changed every 4,5K miles, using Mobil1 5w50.
The noise appeared last october.
-I cleaned (totally gummed) ICV valve. Noise went away. Did not feel any difference in performance and/or idle speed after the clean.
-Noise has come back again.
-Idle engine is perfectly smooth. No codes thrown.
-Noise (as light tapping united with turbulence) begins at 1750 rpm and is much more noticeable at 3,000 rpm
-With the hood/bonnet open it is very difficult to notice, even putting your ear on the intake manifold.
-The noise is much more noticeable from inside the cockpit (back of engine)
-There is no water sloshing sound, levels are spot on
-Should it be the tappets I assume it would go away when increasing engine rpms due to the oil pressure rise.
Could anyone shed some light here please?
Will clean again ICV to see what happens
Best regards
Robert
