Hi
Just joined the forum in the hope of some sensible advice as my local dealers are driving me mad.
Bought an 16 month old Scudo JTD a few months back. Done 50k on the clock. All was fine until about 6 weeks in and noticed some engine noise which was getting worse. Not being en expert I would describe it as very loud ratting in sync with acceleration similar to how a car sounds if the tappits are gone.
Ive had HDi engines for years and my previous van was a Citroen Dispatch 2.00 Hdi so I know how such a diesel engine should sound.
Anyway, took it to my local dealer and they agreed straight away that the noise wasnt right. They had it for a few hours and reckoned the fuel injectors were the issue. They then kept it for 8 days! On return they said they had cleaned the fuel injectors and all was fine (work done under warranty)
Only it wasnt......the noise is still there but they say it sounds fine now! Took it to another dealer who also says it sounds fine.
Now Im pulling my hair out. It sounds like a bus....a very old bus at that, with the engine noise clearly audible in the cab. It no way sounds like the smooth beast that HDi/JTD engines should be but 2 dealers now reckon there is not a problem.
Any advice on what the issue could be and where to go now would really be very appreciated.
