Hi,
New to this forum myself - I have a 1.9 D Kangoo and have just sold a 1.9 D Extra van - apparently these engines are supposed to rattle when cold and listening for an audible rattle for the first 1 to 2 mins is how you check the cold start timing advance solenoid is working...... sounds rediculous I know! but that's what Haynes says. Hope this helps - all The best. J
