Hi y'all, When I start my d40, sometimes the dash beeps at me, it will beep twice, like a Casio watch on the hour kind of beep, when it does it the speedo goes up to 10mph in time with it. Only while stationary and only at start up, does it maybe 10 times, twice every 30s or so then stops, or...

Updates... So I have done a big drive in the truck now, 600km. It is still whining even at low revs, and takes a second or two to die down when you let up. I also noticed that at speed when I let off the gas there is a kind of rattle like noise coming from turbo side if the hood. Its like when...

I changed the flex pipe but still got the noise, that said the join to the rest if the exhaust was leaking really bad too. I used some exhaust paste to connect it and seal it but it does seem like there is a clamp missing for the exhaust cos it shakes like hell at idle right on that join. I'm...

Hi, I took out the stereo to fit an old aftermarket one I had in the shed. The new one showed no signs of life so I took it back out and put the original back but now that shows no signs of life either. I have 12v from con and acc to ground so I'm not sure why both would be unable to power up...

I have the same problem and I definitely have a hole in the flex section of the exhaust. I had someone rev it while I was under there, it didn't sound like the noise was coming from the hole tho. It also doesn't particularly sound like it is coming from the turbo. Could you describe the noise a...

Also I checked this thread previously which looks very similar Turbo noise. and as stated in my 1st post the flex part of the exhaust has a hole advisory on the mot. And I got a new part on order so gonna check that first! fingers crossed!

Ok, so on further inspection I figured that the dipstick is dragging oil up the pipe, when I clean it of 4 or 5 times in a row it eventually gives me a reading at the high mark. Mech came to the same conclusion without me telling him that's what I had (cos I forgot) but he drove it around, up...

Cool, thanks, taking it into the garage this morning for a good look around! What could be the source of that much fuel in there that quickly do you think? I've read a couple posts about fuel pump seals?

So... Took it into garage, did oil change and checked errors, 2 for intercooler 1 for MAF and 1 for turbo. I mentioned the diff oil and he said he would check, but he wasn't there when I picked it up so not 100% he checked it. Anyways I know he did oil change and said it was at the right...

OK, thanks for the advice! Yeah it kind if freaked me out! Is it worth a dpf cleaning service once I've got the new intercooler on?

Cool, thanks! Air filter is nearly new, so no worries there. I'll clean the maf! I just noticed another problem, the oil level is high, really high! No obvious signs of coolant or diesel in there.

Hi, I just got a d40, and I got a problem! When I push any power to the engine I'm getting black smoke, I initially found a hole in the plastic of the intercooler where it was knocked and I have patched it up while I wait for a new one but annoyingly that hasn't solved it. I read on this...
