I have been checking around the forum and haven't found an answer yet...although I've found a few old threads with similar issues.
I know given the myriad of faults possible with a 300tdi i'm unlikey to get an exact answer, but rather your opinions please!
I have a Disco 1 which has barely been used for the last 10 years. I've recently bought it, been using it a lot, and I had the oil changed from 10w40 to 15w40. It had an squeal from the engine originally which was fixed by tightening the belt tensioner, but since then, it seems to have developed a ticking noise, which seems to be coming from the rear drivers side of the engine block.
Opinions from friends so far:
- Issue with the lift pump
- Blockage in a fuel injector line
- Something inside the engine block which is making it sound like a noise from the rear of the block.
So what's your opinion?
