Hey guys,
My pathy has an engine rattle (kinda sounds like skirt slap but more diesel knocky) at about 1700 rpm to 2800 when cold but if your on a good amount of boost between this rpm range it does not rattle but does rattle again when you stop making boost and plateau to the throttle level you are inputting. Once i have driven a few KM (2-7 km) and have got a bit of heat into the engine its gone. Could this be injector rattle or just a typical cold diesel thing? (this is my first diesel car) average temp on the way to work at the moment is probs 12c. I will conduct an experiment next time i fuel up, i will go to caltex instead of united and see if there is any difference. and will also be doing a oil change in the next few weeks.
