    Default random cold knock/tick sound when cold - 1.9 cdti

    my vec c makes a random weird knock/tick sound when it's cold (its not regular like maybe every second or 2 seconds its a knock/tick sound) i can hear it clearly if i put my head next to the engine and i know it's coming from there as I can put my hand on the engine and feel the vibration being transferred.

    only happens on a cold engine, when i rev it up to 1000 and hold it there it goes away, only happens on idle

    possibly faulty injector?? i dont think its the small end bearing

    don't think so otherwise it would be constant,

    also it almost feels like the engine shudders slightly when it ticks (like incomplete combustion)

    Mine started doing the same since it has got a lot colder this week. The whole engine is shaking quite a bit and there is quite a loud rattle. It all disappears when revs are increased to about 1000. I initially thought it was the flywheel on its way out, but once it's warmed up a little bit, all is fine. I would be pretty annoyed if its the
