hi, ive recently bought a 1.9d 97000 on the clock. took it for a long drive over the weekend and discovered when pulling away if I put my foot down the power seems to be jerky and unsmooth? also has a rattly metal sound.
Ideally you need someone with a mechanics ear to listen to the rattling i suspect thats your next port of call. I would look for an old boy like me who grew up diaging problems with his ear. Next it would be to plug in to a diagnostic machine.
At 97k thats quite low mileage as the 1.9 is capable of 300k+ if looked after.
seems to run fine although stuck in traffic for a while the temp seemed to be creeping up more than im used too in previous vehicles? im quite handy is it easy enough to disable the egr?
