Hi All,
2004 300TDi auto seems to run OK but there is a loud ticking noise from injector pump it is engine speed related, sounds a bit like and electric injector, as the solenoid opens/closes the injector, ticking only louder Any thoughts??
Its worn and about to fail.. could last a week could last 5 years.
Just my guess.
Hi Lee
Much as I thought, not worth it to replace pump..... pity I like the car..I was about to put it through an MOT I better look for another car... Do you know , Rrealisticaly, what the consumption is like on the big engine Disco? THey are very cheap now and about all I can afford.

Got the same thing ... even does it when the engine isn't running ... been like it for at least the last 18 months :-)

depends on the installation, a bit. If it's a good system and well tuned, I'd still not expect much over that. Same spec (engine and box) as mine, I try not to think to much about how much juice it uses, just enjoy it while I can :-)
must get a decent exhaust, mine sounds way to quiet :-)
