Hi all, I’ve put my van away for the winter and am starting it up every couple of weeks. Unfortunately this week there was a loud hammering sound in the engine. Any ideas? Could it be that the oil has stopped flowing in the cold?

If you have a late 2 litre engine with hydraulic lifters, one of those lifters has likely bled down. Often it will have to be driven before the noise goes away completely. Your oil level is ok, right???

Thanks Volktales, yes oil is fine. Will wait it out until I can get the Van on the road again. |
