Recently purchased S40 2008 d5 auto r-design, 114k miles, starts fine from cold but as a horrible 'knocking' from the engine when put into d or r (when load put onto engine), hear it more inside the car than outside.
This noise is more pronounced when engine is cold but can still be heard when up to temperature.
It sounds like it is coming from one cylinder, too heavy to be piston slap, originally thought it was a diesel combustion type knock.
The car as had 5 matched injectors fitted from a 4k d5 and this as improved the smoothness however can detect a misfire if the revs are held 1000 rpm ish and above on light throttle if in neutral also at certain times when driving so something is not right.
Wondered if any other S40 d5 owners had experienced this noise, if it is normal for this car.
Have read a lot about egr systems getting clogged causing a problem, maybe my next thing to look at
Welcome any thoughts
