as the title says its the most annoying noise thats hard to trace!
accelerating-under load it does a "tik-a tik-a tik-a tik" faster and faster until the rpm needle is precicely at 3100 then it stops instantly!!
what can it be? a friend found slight diesel weepage around 1st and 2nd injectors, he said change the copper washers which i did' the weepage has stopped but the noise is the same.
im convinced its not tappit related, i put in some worn engine oil treatment, no change plus why would tappit noise simply cut off at 3100k rpm every time guaranteed??
could it be, fuel pump? egr valve? turbo?
oh yeah its a 2000 2.0 hdi !!
any suggestions greatly appreciated !!!

Injectors. Search for more info, or look through this section a bit (second page in particular).

wow weird! so they must go into a different phase at 3100 im guessing?!!
lucky my local scrapyard has a few 306's
are the injectors likely to be the same on say an old 306 td like a phase 1 ?!
my scrapyard will only charge a couple of quid for a set of injectors so i can grab a few sets!!, i got a 306td fuel pump once for £5 !!
there are also two 406 td's and a xantia td, will they have the same injectors?!

Defo your injectors mate, dont bother changing them, they can quite happily tap for 100,000miles with no real loss in performance and ive only been in one HDi (that didnt have a refurbed set) that didnt tap
Refurbed is the way forward if you want to shut them up, ask cully and poodle.
