MRWOO Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm just writing to see if anybody else has experienced this problem and may know if there is actually a problem or not. My Defender (puma) has now covered just under 20k without any issues at all. But now, I am experiencing what can only be described as a much louder engine noise/vibration at around 1900rpm's in all gears. The noise/vibration is more noticeable in 5th and 6th with there being extra load on the engine. I cannot work out whether the cause is actually transmission or engine related but the engine does sound noticeably louder and not as smooth as it used to be before I noticed the change. Does anybody know if this is a problem? PS I did think it may have been the EGR valve sticking but there is no black smoke whatsoever which from reading is a typical symptom of that problem Many Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSG Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Is it just when moving or in neutral at a standstill? Try blanking the EGR off on the minifold and see if it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
