I HAVE A VERY NOISEY TRANSIT MK 2

[baycrew]

My Tranny is really noisey..Not big ends...just pure deisel noise...its ear bending at 65 miles an hour on motorway
Can anybody help me...I have set the tappets on my mark 2 1979 Travelhome (motorhome) transit.

It has a 2.5.litre DI engine..
It looks like it has never had any sound proofing under the bonnet...has anybody else had this noise fault

is there a cure???...I have added carpets inside the cab but it makes no diference...

I live in Morecambe..can i get hold of sound proofing around here??

because the van wasant a factory fitted diesel it will be noisey ,unfortunatly they are allways like this
you could try some sort of sound proof under the bonet it might help a bit!

Hello,
I had the same problem with my motorhome Transit 1983.
I used a sort of foam rubber all around of the engine compartment and under the bonnet.
Now i don't need protections against noise, the number od decibels has fallen.
Sorry, I am french and I don't speak and write correctly English.
Au revoir and good luck,
Ligule

remember tho if you use the type of foam that soaks up water to seal it so it cant be a water trap

i've been fighting the induction roar of the di for 6 months now and i am starting to think the only way to get it down is to switch inlet manifolds to a banana or the other ones with the 90 deg turn in it and fit a filter box

it is better now than it was but still hurts the ears on a long run , oddly though it is ok at 80 + but drinks too much up at that speed

But the noise is coming out because of engine roughness?? I have a problem of noise but because of vibration which comes from a fu** up in the injector pump. And I suggest that if you put foam or someting to eliminate the sound, you apply some anti rusting wax or oil on the regions where water might sattle down for a long time before drying. My reciept altough dirty is, used engine oil mixed with some wax and heavy gearoil.
