Seems I'll hold onto these so
the father got them for his W126, but he's after a set of monoblocks/lorinsers so I'll buy them off him....
Reason he got them was to clear the brakes, he upgraded them to W140 S600 brakes because the standard W126 brakes were beyond useless :eek:
Reason I had them on the car is cos I was stealing the tyres off them :pac:MuppetCheck wrote: »Yay her too. They're tasty wheels on a w202.
You must feel every pebble in that yoke!
It isn't too bad, hasn't bottomed out yet
Although I need to be careful with some speed bumps and when turning as the tyres scrape the arches, I haven't had time to roll them yet

They look alright on their own for sure.... but without seeing the alternative I can't call them an improvement.
I normally run the E class sport wheels, lovely looking wheel to my eyes. Sometimes the algenibs, depends on my mood.
A comparison of both, sport on the left, algenibs on the right

Low is slow in Ireland.

I'm fairly sure at this point that the rattling on acceleration in the Honda isn't bloody normal.
This weekend I'm bringing it to a diesel specialist and asking him to take a look and if there are any issues with what the mechanic changed to write them down so I can bring the car back to him.
EML came on last night again after I thought it had been resolved and the car has become sluggish.
Getting it up to 140 was a task in itself.
So here is my opinion on what has happened so bare with me.
Mechanic says 3 of the 4 injectors have been replaced (I'm going to bet on 2nd hand ones or my bill would have been a lot higher), before the car went in it didn't create any noise on acceleration.
Now I have a very loud ticking noise or metally noise which increases with the revs.
I may be wrong but I always thought that if you replace the injectors then they need to be timed properly? And that you need a specialist tool for this.
So could it be plausible that the mechanic simply swapped the broken injectors (they broke as he was removing them) plugged the 2nd hand ones in and away he went?
If they weren't timed properly could this lead to them causing performance issues plus clanky noises?
Never heard of needing to time common rail injectors. You have to time the fuel pump on older diesels using a bosch type distributor pump, maybe that's what your thinking of
. You have any sort of scanner yourself?
Had a look there and it seems you do have to recode the ecu when you replace the injectors. I can't imagine there being a huge difference between one injector and a replacement though unless they were spurious ones.0 -

Thanks lads.
@Interslice - yes you are correct, I was getting mixed up with the fuel pumps
@Ybfocus: I know, can't believe it and this sort of thing always seems to happen on the build up to Christmas.
The more digging I do the more I'm starting to be convinced it is the injectors causing this.
I asked on the Honda forums regarding the heat shield and I was told that it shouldn't be that as it is not part of the timing chain replacement process so in other words it shouldn't even be touched.
What gets me is that why aren't the injectors rattling on idle? Could it be because the engine is under no load and that only the minimum amount of fuel is needed to keep the engine on?0 -

Still using a drop to keep it ticking over a idle. Alot of compression still to be done. Does it go away if your going down hill and you lift off the throttle. Injectors should be off then.0 -

I would have thought it would be constant.
What about when you come completely off the throttle while travelling?
Does the sound go away?
If it does then I'd be thinking injectors for sure, in modern diesels the injectors close and the car is essentially off. That'd give an indication.
Could it be tension on the chain? Although I'd assume it'd be louder with no load as the turning force would tighten the chain.
Edit: I was writing this longer than i thought, you beat me to it Interslice 0 -

I assume it'd be basically undrivable if it was down on three bad injectors though bear.
We got injectors flow tested and cleaned before going into an engine before at 20 an injector, maybe that's a possibility?
Only time I'll have is on Saturday so I'll be getting them to check out each injector.
It's running on 4 cylinders for sure anyway but guaranteed one of the injectors has failed or is failing.
I should know by Saturday... unless it gets robbed in the mean time 0 -
