Hi,
Wifes 2.2 diesel accord (2005) has started sounding more clattery of late, even for a diesel. Specifically, at idle, there is an audible metal against metal clatter from the engine. Easiest way to describe it, is it sounds like something is randomly tapping metal against metal. Approximately once or twice a second, but as noted, it's semi-random.
Seems to clear when revved gently.
Thoughts? Does the diesel have timing chain/tensioner issues?
Thanks,
Miah
