Hey guys. Link to video/audio of this thing down near bottom of post. Any help whatsoever is appreciated.
Short Version:
Louder than normal engine sounds/rattle especially at idle. (So much that random strangers walking by are saying things like “is that normal” or “I haven’t seen many diesel LR’s around here” etc etc etc. - this is all on a 5.0L v8 motor that already has had the full timing chain issue done. What to check first / eliminate fear about and/focus on?
FULL DETAILS:
Original motor blew the hell up due to the dreaded timing chain ******** (having not learned about that yet - sigh) @ around 129k original miles.
Instead of paying her off - I got to buy a motor! Bought a 2013 motor (with 50k less miles than my vehicle) that was RE-hauled completely, the timing chain already done while it was out, rebuilt and reinstalled in Fall 2020. Not a single issue since then. Been obsessive about oil changes and fluids and being careful with her ever since.
That motor now has 142k miles on it (vehicle itself at 192k). I’ve never since the rebuilt/replacement motors gotten anywhere near even 8k miles on a full synthetic oil change, except just once a few months back, pushed it to about 11k before a full synthetic (I was topping off manually while it was overdue). This louder than normal noise began during that period and I figured that a full drink and flush of full synthetic would bring it back down to “normal levels of loudness” - and while it did get marginally quieter, it still feel much “louder than the normal LR4 loud”, especially when idled.
Anyone with a better ear than mine, please advise what to look for/ have checked / etc and in what order to confirm or deny further issues. I feel like I’ve always had to coach shops into what I need and want done ever since owning this thing, so that’s what I’m looking for here.
May be something terrible in the motor - or may be something exhaust related - or need plugs, or a fuel filter, or a damn fan is loose and rattling around. Just needing some direction. I need this thing to keep going for me and am as usual, tighter than I would like to be and need to get creative to make it last!
Current Codes (and the existing engine light at the moment) is due to needing a couple sensors:
Looks like:
• Bank-2/Sensor-2: “Heated exhaust gas oxygen sensor - circuit slow response”
• Bank-1/Sensor-2: “Heated oxygen sensor heater control circuit” & “Heated oxygen sensor heater resistance”
(Posted a pic of the above codes specifically)
No other codes outside of an e-brake electronic switch module that needs replacing (so in the meantime, the e-brake is manually disengaged completely)
Here is a link to a video for anyone to listen and potential advise!
