Hey guys
Quick question I have purchased a 2007 STX with 100K on the clock. I have noticed over the last week or so it has developed a loud knock on cold start up (morning going to work afternoon coming back from work) under acceleration which dissipates once the engine warms up (though if you listen carefully there is an underlying tick when acceleration very faint).
Now I am a diesel mechanic BUT the engines I work on are quiet a bit larger (3600 Cat Marine and Power Generation) and I have never really been exposed to diesel engines this small or in a automotive application so any suggestions would be appreciated.
The car is under a 3 month used car warranty.
Cheers
