Rattle or Vibration. 4.2 turbo.

Just keep an eye (or ear) on it for any changes. If you are really concerned get it checked out.

Tonks,

Mine used to have it too, it seems to be a harmonic vibration set off by the motor and gearbox, when you are lugging it a little, or under around 1200 RPM??? Haven't had mine for a few years now, so I can't remember the exact RPM

I notice mine when reversing out of the driveway and when leaving a carpark. Doesn't seem to do it when warm.

Very common mate with the 4.2. Mine harmonics through engine and gearbox and exhaust.

It's just the awesome power of the td42 wanting to get off road rather than the black stuff!

[Tonks]

Thanks guys,

I think I might call past the guys that service it for me and see what they have to say,

Will let you know,

Cheers again,

Tonks

Mine gets a fair bit louder when it's stopped with the handbrake on a slight incline and in neutral.

I've got the 4.2 TDi and it does it. It sounds like it's almost ready to stall, but it disappears once you put the revs up.

My mechanic, who's a vehicle examiner, hasn't said anything, and it's been serviced at Auto Masters before that. No one has mentioned it.

That's why I call my truck DX grunt. The noise sounds like untamed power waiting to be unleashed. PML. LOL

[Tonks]

DxG, that's exactly it, only at low revs and disappears after you apply more revs.

I thought it was a standard 4.2 noise at low RPM. Mine does it and it is noisy. Just get used too it.

Stand corrected, does/did Mr NISSAN mention it for any call backs
Harmonics cant be good IMO
