cold start noise
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 7:28 pm
Hi all I'm new to the site so please be gentle.
I've got a 2011 2L diesel BMT with 67k on the clock. The past few mornings especially today I've started it as normal with no problems pulled away and changing from 1st I am getting a hydraulic lifter type noise (or should I say old school tappet rattle) this happens when accelerating and the car feels like its only running on 3 cylinders so power is restricted only for a while. I'd possibly say this only lasted for a few minute's and run fine for the rest of my journey. Just to add I have no warning lights on the dash at all.
Thanks in advance for any advise that you lot share with me!! Cheers
