Hi
Everyone, i am a newby joiner but i have been using your info for a while! i have a 95 300Tdi auto ES discovery, that developed a strange clanging noise that comes and goes! i thought it was the flexplate as i had a similar experience on an audi 80tdi we had a while ago. it seems to have coincided with the removal of the EGR valve which i did as a result of the thing returning only 17-18mpg!! the noise seems worse when cold, and some times on idle its not there at all until you blip the throttle, i have removed the timing belt cover to see if the noise was a result of loose tensioner or pulley but didnt find anything. the car now seems to run a bit roughly and also is smoking a bit and wont rev nicely too! anyone got any ideas?
Hope you can help me please,. . . . . . . your my only hope!
