Engine noises.
Discussion
Hello all,
This may sound like one of those "it could be anything" questions, but I thought I would ask it anyway.
The engine on my 350i is really clattery on acceleration. It sounds like really severe pinking, but I can't be sure. I have been messing around with the timing for ages, but whatever I do the clattering never changes. It sounds like a pedal bike chain being dragged over the sprockets.
The engine power seems fine and the car has been running like this for probably 3000 miles now. Is there anything else that could make a noise like this? I have read "The Bible" and checked all the points here, but I don't have a lot of money for full engine services etc. Its probably impossible to diagnose without hearing it, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Best regards
Daniel
