Hi

Recently purchased a 2017 X1 diesel and having owned VW diesels for years am concerned about a rattling noise coming from the engine. Is the noise normal and am I just used to listening to VW’s for years? Doesn’t happen all the time mainly on tick over when cold and can’t hear it when accelerating. Have been to local garage who have checked it over and said it’s all fine and different cars sound differently. Just wondered if others have had the same issue?  
Cheers Matt

Morning Matt

Welcome to the Forum

Always difficult with noises/rattles unless they can be heard/compared. I am sure that there are many who have changed marques and heard noises they haven't heard before.

For me it was easy after years of V8 Mercedes and BMW X5's my E70 is Diesel and it definitely sounds different 😁

ENJOY

Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
