    300TDI intake noise

    My 300TDI has just started making a strange noise from the air intake / snorkel .
    The noise sounds like an old slow reving single cyl workshop air compressor .
    Anyone struck this before ?
    Other than the sound , there seems to be no other problems .
    Most noticeable at idle .

    Check the turbo hoses are on tight and have no splits, Regards Frank.

    Air filter can collapse and make this noise.

    Uhmmm, interesting.

    Can you explain "backfiring" more? And how come on all 4 if only 1 lash cap missing?

    I'm not questioning your solution, this is for my education, if you care to elaborate

    Thanx!!!

    It wasnt back firing , just the choof choof as Pat described .
    One lash cap was apparently worn away , why I don't know , maybe a loose tappet for too long ?
