Rattling noise from engine? D3 - TDV6

Good Evening All,

First of all only signed up to this yesterday so apologies if this is in the wrong area and got my first D3 at the weekend. However owned Land Rovers for 30 odd years and have several series. Long and short though hello all 👍

Now onto the issue! I have recently purchased a 2008 TDV6 Commercial. Looks and drives great. However there is a rather annoying rattling noise coming from my engine. Sounds similar to when the oil pump is firing up but this stops after about 3 seconds then you are left with a similar noise from what sounds like the engine. I just wondered if anyone has had a similar issue or sound and has an idea where to steer me before I start pulling the whole thing apart.

I couldn't work out how to upload a video 🤦‍♂️
But the noise sounds similar to the oil pump but doesn't seem to be that and goes up and down with the revs.

Thanks in advance!

Ted

P.S - As I couldn't post a video it's almost sounds like a tapping noise that goes up and down with the revs. The previous owner said he was told it could be an injector but not convinced. I have noticed the main fan belt tensioner bounces around a lot when it's running but ive seen that before and no noise. However I will replace that anyway but I would be shocked if it was that. Making this noise. Apparently it's been doing it for years.. 😬

Hello,

I had a similar experience. Changed the aux belt tensioner and all was well. I have a link to my original video of the noise. You can see if it sounds similar.

Hopefully the video link works.

I think that might be it you know! Just listening and watching your video it sounds almost identical. I've ordered the parts and fan removal tool to get to it. Fingers crossed this solves it. Thank you for your help!

Exactly that!

That's all part of the Land Rover lifestyle it's all like a big family that help each other out.

I will keep you posted! Hopefully the tensioner will turn up in the next couple of days an I can do it one evening.

If you could pop the belt off, start her up for a minute and see if the noise disappears.

Yes I will give that a go once I get that fan off. I need to use the car tomorrow but I'm hoping the tensioner and fan tool will be here tomorrow so I will try that first to be sure. I think it needs replacing anyway the amount it bounces about when it's running.

I will keep you posted with an update!
