Spooner Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with a noise/rumble thats just started (Monday) on my 1998 300tdi 110 CSW when stationary. When I start 'Bert' up, and he is ticking over (feet off all pedals), I'm getting a kind of 'rumble'/'scraping' noise from the around engine/gearbox area. Depressing the clutch/pressing the brake pedal has no effect of the noise - it's still there. He drives fine and the clutch engages as it should and the brakes work just fine. I did think it could be a propshaft/UJ put as they don't move until he does I kind of discounted that... I've never heard it before and would welcome any opinions....

western Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 is the noise still there when you raise the revs without driving off ? if it goes away it could just be low idle revs causing a resonance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Er... cam/big end bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooner Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Er... cam/big end bearings? Thanks for the replies. When I pull away I can't hear it or feel any untoward coming up from anyway. Perhaps as you say Western it is just low revs resonance. Only done 92k and oil change every 6months/6000miles - wouldn't expect cam/big end bearings at mileage would I TimR? I'll have a good look at the weekend when I have some light. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooner Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 whats it like when u try steering with as it could be pas pump Andy, Spot on with the PAS. Managed to check in the fading light this evening and I've found a leak from just under the PAS reservior. Looks like the ends of ones of hoses has split as it's coming down from right underneath where the hose joins the reservior. Anyone know the part numbers for these two hoses? Thanks again everyone - appreciatted Cheers Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 might be the stub pipes on the PAS reservior cracked & leaking rather than the 2 rubber hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
