noise from engine

[antk]

hi all.

as i was driving yesterday there was a very loud noise just starting from the engine, if it was a car i would say it was the tapets but on a landy i have no idea, only really makes the noise when you put your foot down any ideas?

cheers Ant

what engine is it
and what noise is it ?

[Guardian.]

seems to be a lot of engines knocking or tapping here in the last week, mine included, is there a landy bug going around or something? :-k

[extreme90]

its a 2.5 turbo diesel engine,just before it starting knocking i went into a ford, any ideas?

Was the ford deep?, if it was you may have taken some water through the air filter, and the noise *might* relate to a bent push-rod or maybe a bent con-rod.

As always its very difficult to diagnose noises over the internet, but someone experienced should be able to tell you by listening to the engine running.

ye was deep about 4 feet deep. i will take it to a garage this afternoon.

Ant,

Which garage you going to ?

I'd suggest AJD down in Nazeing Glassworks - Andy and Martin know their stuff, and will always have a look/listen and give free advice !

i dont think it will make it to ajd's so i am going to have to go to pheonix near old harlow.

what do you think it may be?

When did you last do the cam belt. Belt could be slightly out. Same noise started coming from mine before it died

cant bend a push rod surely??????

[antk]

dont no when the cambelt was last done  :?

no history with it when i bought it.

maybe i should get that done then asap.

[antk]

deffo not any kind of rod its not the right noise to be something like that.

if you do the cam belt, treat her to a new pulley seals at the same time as it will save you further agro in the future.

 :-k....If you think its possible water got sucked up, first thing i'd do is whip off the sump and check everything looks as it should i.e. no bends. Also its pretty easy to check the tappets rods etc. i've heard that the rocker arms can fracture aswell.  Dont know if its possible but can you post the noise from a recording, maybe from a phone etc. Its very hard to give accurate advice without hearing the sound.

Dose the engine run as smooth as it did without he noise. If not check the timing of the fuel injection pump.

Hope it helps
