Nasty noise
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2006 3:28 pm
I know these things are realy difficult to diagnose by description, but can anyone help.
I was driving my +2 S130 today and suddenly when it settled to tickover at a set of traffic lights, it sounded realy rough and coarse as though the engine was shaking about. As soon as the engine revs mount off tickover, it is just as sweet as it has ever been, but as it settles to tickover it sounds dreadful. Tickover has also risen by about 400 rpm but even when I knock that back it still sounds rough. On opening the bonnet the engine is not shaking any more than normal (though from inside it sounds like it is) and all the HT leads are in position and removing each in turn has the same effect for each cylinder.
Performance doesn't seem to be affected and once revving it sounds normal and smooth.
What is going on?
