I have recently taken delivery of my new MH

The cab is the new Ford Transit 2.4D 130 Deisel engine with 6 speed box, the problem I have and would appreciate any feedback from other owners is

On a cold engine their is a abnormally very loud diesel knock when accelarating through the gears. The noise does quiten down when up to normal temp but it is really is very loud when cold.

Is there anyone else who has the same Ford engine unit who may be able to advise as to whether this is similiar to theirs or do I have a problem.

Thankyou

Our fleet of works vans are Transits & Transit connects, They are exactly the same, Park the van up & have half an hour dinner, start it up & you have the loud deisel knock for a few seconds. I personaly wouldn't worry to much about it.

Ps these are 56 plate vehicles.

Hi,

I have on 07 Rimor Transit with the 2.4 TDci duratorque engine, when i start it up it is quiet noisy, but i always let it warm up before i drive it.

Once warm it's as quiet as  a mouses heart, and what a super engine.

Hi KC

Thanks for the reply, I agree when the engine is warm it's very quiet and it goes very well. The torque in the engine pulling such a big motorhome is quite impressive.

Do you use the large garage for Motorsport by any chance?
