XANTIA 1.9TD RATTLE
Hello,
Advise needed please. My 97 VSX Xantia is rattling more than ever - new water pump, air con bearing and belt fitted but engine clattering more than usual (positively deafening compared to my C5 HDI). All comments/suggestions welcome!!
Regards,
John.

The rattling is from the offside engine when at low revs/startup - the faster the engine speed the less rattle. I know diesels clank at the best of times but this really sounds like a bucket of bolts.

If its diesel knock through over advanced timing, it will get quieter as it warms up, if its a mechanical knock, I would check the crankshaft pulley for tightness, the key can wear and allow it to move even if the bolt is tight. If you can get to it, you should be able to feel it move if thats the problem, unless of course you have allready checked that and I've missed something.

Thanks for all the advice, guys! On further examination I have determined that the majority of the rattling is at the top of the engine. Pulley OK, could the diesel pump be the culprit or ?
