Title: Faint ticking noise fault 82 [2.5TD]
Post by: chartz on 05 August 2012, 10:37:33

Hi,

Well the title says it all. I noticed an unusual ticking noise at the top of the engine a few days ago.
Then, yesterday, the EML started to light up for a few seconds after startup. The light goes off after 10 seconds.
A paperclip test reports fault 82 only.
The tractor apears to run normally, but the noise persists.
The question is: can I safely go on using her?
What should I do? Of course we are away on holiday...

Many thanks,

Jacques

What are the odds?
Now I can't turn my ignition key!
And it was changed one year ago!  :D
And still away from home!

lolticking noise could be anything from a dirty lifter to cracked manifold, etc etc,as long as the noise is not heavy knocking, would just cotinue to drive it,,,,but this is in no way a guarantee obviously,
as to the ignition key problem, oh dear, a worn key can often contribute to this problem, bet you havent the spare key with you? if so use that one it often helps with the tumblers snicking back ointo place where as a worn one dint always puch them back properly hence the jamming

Well the keys are the new ones I got with the new drum last year. Is there any way to make the key move? I can't even get the drum out.
And I'm stuck on a car-park.

Right. A nice person lent me some tools and I could start working. Real PITA was that the wheel was of course blocked. Anyway, success!
The problem was not a worn key or drum but the blocking piston securing the barrel at its end stop which was not free to move because of a dent in the housing. Methinks this is a poor design or my example was badly cast perhaps. I could file the drum to recover normal operation. I was asked a hundred times if I was leaving my spot! Another nice guy running a fun fair attraction nearby gave me some grease to finish the job. Phew!

Now I am left with the 82 error and a sometimes lit EML. This number 4 injector was the only one that was not changed but refurbished. My Bosch diesel specialist has special tools to repair those: they keep the sensor but replace the needle. False economy perhaps...

Anyway, advice please!
