Hi,
I have a transit 350 mwb 100 2.4 rwd tipper and its a mk7 on an 07 plate.
Yesterday as I was driving it i noticed the temp guage got to the normal position, (half way) and then when I started moving it would fall to cold and as soon as I stopped again it would raise.
I also noticed that sometimes there would be a tapping noise from the passenger side of the engine bay, not a death rattle but more of a very loud injector type noise or something slapping on the body work. This only happened sometimes, I think it was either when I started to get up through the gears or when I took my foot of the accelerator, ( i am unsure really as I was panicking).
The truck still pulls really well, there is no smoke coming from it and if it was not for the noice and temp guage I would have said there was nothing wrong with it.
On another note, the engine managment light has been on and when I read the code it pointed to the egr being faulty, I cleared the codes to see if they were maybe old codes or something and it has stayed off.
If anyone can help that would be appreciated or if anyone knows of a good garage to take it that would be great. I am located in Perth Scotland.
Many thanks,
Sandy
