    Probably the injectors you can hear. When the bonnet is up they are loud.

    Did you have the piston rings changed or it's still untouched?

    My problem started at 800km and now at 2500km later with 2new fuel pump and still makes the tapping sound each time I accelerate.faulty batch of fuel pumps as i am waiting for answers and have suggested they send German techs to retify ASAP.just wonder if it's similar.cheers tay

    Mine started to sound like a sewing machine after getting the piston rings changed. Does it everytime I accelerate between 2000-3000rpms (even with slightly throttle) on idle I don't have any noises.

    Only loud from the outside when the engine is cold. Different kind of loud if I'm in Sport mode

    Other then It sounding like a little beef cake I can't say mine sounds noisy. I can say that on idle it does tend to gurgle a tad but I find that it's just cold. I try not to push until oil temp is at least 90
