mintalkin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 a few common faults are water ingress to passenger footwell through the scuttle panel over the polen filter failing aux belt tensioner, will make a drumming noise at idle duel mass flywheels can fail and often take the starter motor with it due to the iron fileings that clog it up egr valve and manifold can become clogged but can be removed and cleaned or blanked completley delphi injectors can fail or lose there coding at any time giving all sorts of running problems rear calipers can stick, can sometimes be cured by a good strip and clean the bonnet lock can break, replacement means drilling holes into the grill behind badge. as i say just a few common issues.

bruders338 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks. You say drumming... At idle I seem to get a kind of hunting and the engine seems to shake And a kind of tinny rattle when going through the revs sometimes Any ideas?
