    Tapping noise from top of engine

    I am sure JLR SDD has the Injector balancing offset readings - And also the battery readings - I will take a look today and update, the JLR SDD I got off Ebay on the advice of many - the guy remotely installs it on your PC - it was about £80.00 I think - and I bought a Mongoose Cable for it from...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    Not sure if JLR SDD can configure injectors, will need to have a look at it - but these are the codes that are stored - the only one I cant figure out is ignition key lock solonoid - inone cause me a probloem so they have moved down the TO DO LIST lol

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    The Timing Belts + Oil Pump are top of my to do list - before Christmas - it had a water pump and thermostat on it about 1 00 miles ago - still lots of jobs to do on it - only just got it through an MOT £750.00 ( Needed a new Hand Brake Module ) - but need to get to the bottom of this tapping -...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    I hate rattling/tapping engines - almost worse than sticky hands - I have swapped an injector from the back of bank 1 to the front of bank two - the noise is still there - so I dont think it is the injectors - I will grab my stethascope and have another look tomorrow - I might even pull the...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    I am a bit crackers - I own a Range Rover -- however no I never said that lol, it will be my Man Flu - I am certain that the noise is cam/rocker arm/tappet related - but I have been wrong before - you can hear it is like metal banging on metal - I have another video that I made - unfortunatly...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    I do have a stethascope - it is however really tricky to hear - I have uploaded a video of the cold oil pressure test - initially I had a slight oil leak ( Guage wasn't tight ) hence the needle juddering - see what you think

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    It is a 2006 - I have no idea if they have been changed previously - so I will assume NO - coolant stays perfect - like a lot have said the Oil Pressure will be the next test - it will also be interesting - I know these are bad on the Oil Pumps - heard a lot of horror stories

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    Milage is 95000 - so getting very close to the belt change interval now - it was serviced less than 100 miles ago - inc oil + Filter - fuel filter - coolant flush - new antifreeze - water pump - and new Thermostat - the belt(s) look very easy to do on this - in comparison to my N47 BMW where I...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    Just to confirm - the Engine was making the exact same noise prior to the injector cleaning - I am edging towards Hydraulic Tappet(s) - but it is hard to tell without further investigation - I would describe the noise more as a Hammering that increases with RPM - not so noticable on tickover...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    Oil filter was Bosch - I wont use any other on any of my Vehicles - I will indeed post details of my Oil Pressure test - I am not sure RE: Injector test, I have the Jlr Sdd which you can do most things with - and also a delphi DS150E - a little bit more generic RE: tasks you can do, the...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    Thanks for the answeres everyone - oil pressure is my next check - I am led to believe I need a 1/4 NPT thread - Just been out and started her up, almost no noise even when revved up to 3000 RPM - when it starts warming up this is when it starts getting noisey, the oil light on the dashboard...

    Tapping noise from top of engine

    I did put some rdex injector cleaner in the tank that should have ran through by now - still the same, one point is it seems to be nowhere near as bad on cold start up - seems to get worse the warmer the engine gets -

    No I have not changed the Oil Pump - nor checked the oil pressure - does anyone know the attachemnt size needed to screw in to the oil prrssure switch? - 2006 TDV6 - 95.000 miles - I have JLR SDD And no fault codes related to this issue - I also did a compression check across both blocks about...

    Hi each and all - it has been a while since I have posted, but I have now started to TRY to get my RR Sport back on the road and hopefully eliminate its seemingly endless problems - I have managed to completely solve the suspension problems - it needed a new Air Compressor, now on to the the...
