Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / April 2005306 HDI acceleration rattle
can someone help?!?! I have a 1999 50,000 mile 306 hdi. Under acceleration there is what I would describe as a tappety sound when the turbo kicks in. There is no loss in power with the car. I think I can also here when the turbo cuts out at high revs, but it is much more quiet. Any ideas would be appreciated. > can someone help?!?! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any ideas would be appreciated. i know what you mean, my car does the same. peugeot have looked at it and said that it is not a problem, but must say it does concern me at times > > can someone help?!?! > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > and said that it is not a problem, but must say it does concern me at > times Well if Peugeot have said its ok, at least it cannot be a serious fault then! The HDI engines are high pressure direct injection, this means that fuel can be squirted into the cylinder at any time, even under acceleration!. So, fuel will be entering the cylinder before ignition and also during, the noise may be a very small ammount of detonation as the fuel explosivly combusts. Both of the HDI 110hp engines do the same, but if it is more than a very faint rattle talk again to the dealer. |
