Long shot but you never know mate

I would say that's fairly relevant. Have you tried un plugging it when it's doing it ?

covdubber wrote:yep can try another coil, but if it runs ok cold the coils still doing its job, I shouldn't have thought the engine temp affects the coil...I sparks well

Ok just a thought as I've had coils breaking down with heat before....

Is it a DJ? Or has it got a lambda ?

Can you try another coil ?

Water leak? Where was that from mate?

Any smoke at all? Does it run fine when cold and does it have to be full temp before it does it? And is it one or all 4 cylinders

I was getting a very similar sort of noise on my empty van..sounded like it was from the rear but the gearbox had new bearings as soon as I got it so I ruled out the back and put a new pinion bearing in the front...after that its been silent so maybe it's your front diff? Mine would become louder i...

Hello boys, I rebuilt the box on my 14 about 6 yrs ago, replacing crown wheel, pinion, pinion bearing and shaft bearings. The van has the prop on at the moment but I noticed yesterday on the motorway an "off power" diff whine slightly , very sensitive to throttle and goes away if you drive...
