    Hi,

    I have a noisy XUD diesel engine on my 205 - sounds like an old 8 valve
    fiesta, it's really clicky when you rev it. Firstly is this normal? And
    secondly if not, is it true that you can flush the engine with
    half-half cheap engine oil and paraffin and run for 15 minutes to solve
    it? Or should I just change the oil for some quality oil and have done
    with it. Cheers

    I don't think any one would risk using paraffin to flush out a engine.
    just buy some good engine oil.magnatec oil for diesel engines.i have
    found it very very good on a engine with 254.000 on the clock.and dont
    use a drop of oil or water..
