[QUOTE="tunkertrigger, post: 28056, member: 10761"] Youi must be in another country and I live in the USA so I"ll use miles. I have owned many diesels, trucks, tractors and cars. I now own a 2018 'Nox diesel. One thing you learn about Rudy Diesel's ingenious design is the type of combustion it is. It's compression combustion using heated air. That's why winter is difficult on them. The up side is no spark plugs, better torque and way better fuel mileage. So, since you have almost 86K miles on the engine now, the "rattle" that you hear is most likely just the engine being cold at start up and then warming quickly as burning fuel heats the engine. Some folks don't like that sound but I think of it as beautiful! A diesel engine will last a long time with proper care and maintenance. Rudolf planned it that way. If it continues to "rattle" after warm up, you might want to have a diesel mechanic check it. Safe travels, Amigo! [/QUOTE]
