206 Hdi Knock

My 20000 mile 205 has recently developed an obvious knock. It is difficult to
pin point but is 'half engine speed' I would say. The knock is apparent at
tick over and just above, after that it is not audable. Any ideas?

 

Bottom end possibly? How often have you changed the oil? 20,000 miles
on a 205 indicates it doesn't do much annual mileage and consequently
the oil and filter should have been changed every 6 months.

How many HDi 205's are there? Not many, I'd wager!

could be just bad or supermarket diesel
try a fill up with a good (i.e not cheap) brand
go from there
post again if no joy
obviously you have checked oil level etc (with dipstick not gauge)

 

Half engine speed would indicate something relating to or driven by the
camshaft wouldn't it? Is it really a solid knock or more of a tapping
noise?

Sorry 206, my hearing is quite good (knock knock), but my typing is terrible.

 

Thanks to all who answered. It is not a heavy knock but a bit more than just a
rattle (Like injectors)
As to oil changes, I do not trust the 12000 mile interval, and always change
the oil every 6 months, for me thats less than half the mileage.. I use Millers
Fully synthetic. New filter every time. I never use 'supermarket' fuel only
Shell or Texaco and I use Millers diesel additive always..

 

Try checking the valve clearances
