Definitely sounds and looks like an injector problem there mate. The shaking of the engine at idle. Common problems with these. I would get your garage to do an injector leak test to see which injector is not spraying at the same rate as the others.
They are doing knock tests to see what injector is at fault. As soon as it's done I will post a video and link it in to the comments section at the top
Got 2 vans at mine now sounds like the start of oil pump failure both vans here have shredded thrust bearings inside the block and seems a common problem.
same here although mine has just over 100k on the clock. Also when driving it appears as if there was a rattle noise coming from the left side, when accelerating mainly and at certain, rather low RPM's.
Are you with toomeys? I had my ecu read when a fault code came up. It reported fuel injector which would make sense. I took it into toomeys and they cleared the code and said its oil, and I need an oil service. (I had one 9 months before with less than 9k since. They are lying scumbags. They have now made it worse. And I have heard that they can delete certain codes so the ecu never brings them back up. But indont know if there is any truth to this
Had same from new. Went into citroen birmingham at 8k for service and told it's normal. Sounds terrible. Only covered 23k in nearly 3 years. Stopstart not working either. Fan also comes on randomly (without aircon on) and burning plastic smell from front. Only way to stop fan is turm engine off then back on. Tried getting extended warranty but costs silly money. (They know there's a problem ) ??
Absolutely. All these new engines are rubbish. All build to fail so it pushes us to buy evs. (Just a money pit) Toomeys are useless. I wouldn't let them pump up my tire. I know what the problem is but until I have it fixed I'm not going to report on it. (As it may be misinformation)
Hello there Harry Johnson, i got absolutely the same noise 😭 which is driving me crazy i bought my second BRAND new Citroen relay. The first one is 2018 2.0 and sounds much quieter than current one. The current one i bought in before 8 months ago and now i have done 31k milage and this noise appears early stage of the engine around 10k, and still going. I still dont have solution for the problem and the noise becomes louder and louder. Please mate contact me if you got any solution or diagnostic information.
I took mine to toomeys in Basildon with an adblue fault only 19k miles they weren’t interested as the van had previously had a minor repair to the front end nothing to do with the adblue
They are not proper mechanics, they even brakes were fine after the worn pad light come on, they said they just removed the code and its fine a week later metal grinding sound when braking. I ended up fitting the new brakes myself. completly incompatent, i wouldnt trust them to pump up my tires
ive same year and engine it does go well, really fast acorrding to my friend at local garage, mines done 48k no shouldn't sound like that, im the same as others have said injectors it would exsplain the bad mpg too, i hope its sorted today mate 👍👌
I'm waiting for my local garage to repair the parts. I believe it's faulty injector but not going to confirm this until it's been done and the noise stops
I had the same problem with my van a few years ago engine knock no one could fix it until a guy said it was injectors so he took the old injectors out and replaced them with denso injectors the van has run so good ever since touch wood. He did tell me that the injectors he took out were Lucas which were the wrong one he also put new code numbers in calabrated the new one 4 new injectors job done 2015 2010 2.2 120 bhp little tip only put good fuel in and injector cleaner once every three months don’t use supper market fuel
I just fill up wherever I can. But yes the fault code showed fuel injector at fault. And when the fuel rail pressure was reduced the noise stopped. However when I took it into toomeys they said the code says I need new oil, which I had already payed an extortionate amount to them to do that only months before.
I am having same noise,did you manage to find what cause this knocking

hmm injectors need a retest. timing chain? is there a anti knock device fitted?
same here although mine has just over 100k on the clock. Also when driving it appears as if there was a rattle noise coming from the left side, when accelerating mainly and at certain, rather low RPM's.
Mines doing that much quieter but getting noisier. Did you get to bottom of it I’m still under warranty Citroen said it’s normal. Not having it.

Hey harry we have 2 of these relays and they are both knocking super loud on idle same sort of miles . Have you had any joy pal ?
mine has made this same noise from new. might just want the tappets adjusting. mines now done 112000 miles.

Hi buddy ive got the same engine problem did you find out the problem? Mines a boxer but engine looks the same.
What was in the end? Have same problem here haha

It's massively pointing to the injectors. And I believe the same. Once it is fixed I will confirm fmwith a follow up video
Did you get the reason or soulution eventually?

Update?

All the same problems here with mine including the start stop never worked and gobbed off.
I would like to claim against them
Was yours toomeys too ?
There is no point claiming against them. The stress alone is not worth it. They lie through their teeth.

I have same problem
How can I fix it?
