slight clattering under light acceleration in any gear

[agri engineer]

was wonder if anyone had a similar problem on 6.1 150ps 2020 12000 miles. on the drive back from collecting noticed a slight clatter under light acceleration any gear im think timing related either tensioner or water pump as the timming end is a little noisy from cold ...any input would be appreciated

Have a read of some of the dual mass flywheel topics and see if they relate to your issue.

DPF regeneration changes engine tune towards traditional diesel rattle.

Hi, I have exactly the same observation on a 2020 T6 150, 14k miles I purchased earlier this week. Wondering whether it’s the timing belt/tensioner? Going to book into dealer to see what they think. Fingers crossed!!!!

Sounds a bit daff, but do you have any glasses in a case on your dash?

No nothing on dash, I’m continuing to troubleshoot

Well, after a few days of driving my new van, the strange noise has disappeared. Really pleased and putting it down to the assumption that it must have stood for a while in the forecourt before I bought it.
