OM617 NA rattle (video)
1978 300CD. I've owned this car for a couple years, and there is one engine noise that I can't seem to pin down. It's kind of an irregular rattle or "chugging" noise at higher rpms. I've got a video with enhanced audio here: It's present at 0-8s, then again after 17s.
https://youtu.be/ZshOnukOFkk observations: -Only present when hot. Most prevalent after a sustained run of 55mph or more. -Most noticeable at light throttle or right after letting off the throttle at higher RPMs. -I did a diesel purge and let 2 cans run back to the tank (forgot about recirculation). For the rest of that tank, I didn't notice the noise which made me think it was injector related. Came back on next tank. -Checked valve clearance. Only one was borderline. Adjusted. -Compression test cold. Cyl 3 was 300psi. Others were 325. -Rebuilt injectors with Firad nozzles. Still there. -Replaced injectors with Bosch India. Still there. Maybe it's an exhaust leak? Normal noise? Injector timing? Otherwise, the car runs great. Thanks! |
