406 2.1 12V Diesel - Revving & Knocking!!
Got a 1996 2.1 TD.
At low revs/speeds the engine revvs up to the red line and then cuts out! Also getting a knocking sound after about 5-10 miles of constant speed - motorway usually. Also having trouble starting. Sometimes takes 4-5 times to get the bugger started!! Got a garage to code read - told it was a rotor failure in the fuel pump. New fuel pump proce £1,400 + VAT! Got a used one from a breakers fitted - still no good! Same problems occuring!!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG!!!?!?!?! |

Re: 406 2.1 12V Diesel - Revving & Knocking!!
one thought----check the oil level-ideally it should be just below the maximum line when cold(left standing) it could be pulling oil to the top of the pistons hence the revs and knocks!!
