The clicking sound is the fuel advance solenoid turning on and off very quickly. If it doesnt do that, its broken.
Hey guys, just an update on the situation, after looking at the electrical schematics I decided to test lots of wires. I found that the needle lift sensor had an open circuit. I ripped apart the loom and found the culprits, just above the alternator that I changed when the problem started. She seems to run even smoother now after it sounding like a tractor for months. Happy chappy now
Hey everyone, I had this same problem but eventually realised that the blower fan is only has power with the engine running and always has alternator voltage whether the blower is on or off. The split relay is built into the van. I just spliced into the positive and grounded next to the battery. Only had to buy a some clips for the leisure battery. Its working like a charm.
I have an advance solenoid for the dw8b, changed the part but it wasn't the problem so got a Delphi one to sell on, make me an offer, also sending from France so probably add a fiver for p+p.
First, if the injector sensor is unplugged, it will knock and make white smoke. So if it makes no difference if it's connected or not, that's a flag. Connections all through the loom, into the box in the wing? Clean and check earth points.
It's one or the other knocking or white smoke ..... I've checked the cables to the best of my ability but once they go in the loom I'm lost. I just test to make sure theres no short.
Ok, I'm back at it. Bought the crankshaft sensor but it was the wrong one, while the original was off though I checked the resistance and it seemed to be fine, 400ohms. When disconnected I get white smoke. So thinking now that it's the camshaft sensor as I have a code for that but cant for the life of me find any info about it online for the expert. Any and all suggestions welcome.
I also did an egr bypass and that didnt help
Well, after a lot of wire shaking, connector cleaning, draining about a liter of oil from the air filter buffer thing and generally cleaning and wiggling things I got the knocking to stop, only to get the dreaded white smoke pouring out the back. Did some more jiggling and the knocking came back. Was looking for the camshaft sensor but have no idea where it is....... This might go on for a while. If anyone has photos of the top dead centre sensor in situ that would be useful, maybe, hopefully
Gonna try that tonight, just after I changed the alternator, I could mice the wires around and get it to stop for a few seconds, then read all about this advance solenoid........ I think you're probably right!!!!! I'll let you know
Well, I just changed the advance solenoid nothing changed, so egr you say, I read somewhere that it could be the ecu....... I never go to a garage but this time I might have to, unless there is a way to bybass the egr that would stop this knocking?
After changing my alternator I suddenly had engine knock, I changed the oil and filter, still knocking hot or cold. After hours of searching online it looks like the advance solenoid. I took it out tested it to be 13ohms and it clicks when I give it 12v. A new one is on the way. I'll post again if that fixes the problem.
could that be done just with a jack or did you need an engine crane?
Hello everyone, I recently found a bit of oil in my expansion tank which I am slowly fishing out until I do a full flush and refill. For the moment I have bypassed the oil cooler as that could help me rule out the head gasket. My question is, can the head cylinder be taken off a '98 dispatch without removing the engine?? It seems so far back in there but I don't wanna start removing parts just yet to see if it's possible.
Did you find it eventually, I cant for the life of me find it, but when I bought the pollen filter it says it was for my model.....
I had this problem, ended up getting diesel all over the clutch and had to replace it. A two day job and a few new tools later, I now know how to change a clutch. Make sure you clean up that diesel!!!! I just replaced the fuel filter with a new one and all was well with the leak.
I had this problem, had to pay 200 euros to get taken off the motorway. Fuel cut off solenoid wasn't getting power. I rewired the thing to a 12v on the coolant resevoir. It's connected to the ignition. But you should def test it.
Driving pretty carefully and avoiding Paris I got 39mpg. I was pretty chuffed with that considering I live in the the thing with all my things and tools. I don't go faster than 90kmh and always change gear pretty early.
