Hi All,

Just had a new auto gearbox fitted and as I drove away, I heard a new tapping/ratchet sound, which occurs only when you use the accelerator. No sound when decelerating or just cruising along. I got the dealer to take a test drive, and he could hear it - he asked his master techs to take a look, who cannot pin point the noise. They say they tried another vehicle with the same engine - the same noise is present but not as loud as in mine. I have the car back now, and the noise is even louder.
Anyone else experienced this in a similar diesel tekna auto ?

Mine's just started doing this sort of noise but the opposite way round - I hear it when idling or when taking my foot off the throttle. Bizarrely when driving it stops when braking. I liken the noise to how a noisy speedometer cable used to sound.

I can't really suggest anything for you other than the usual suspects like loose heat shield under the car, rattling airbox etc etc. It may help to advise NCS of your concerns so that they are at least forewarned if your problem worsens.
