Thread: 2003 TD5 engine Noise

I'm hoping somebody is in the know and may be able to point me in the right direction with regard to an engine noise that is getting worse over the last couple of years.
It is very bad when cold and can almost disappear when hot leaving just a distinct background rattle when cruising.

p.s. Also, it is starting to blow a lot of 'white' smoke on startup until the motor is hot... worse when left idling cold.
Cheers
