Toyota hilux engine knock when cold?

It's a diesel... if it isn't knocking, it's a petrol engine and you need spark plugs!

modern deisel engines are quiet, fast and economical

Nonetheless they remain compression-ignition.

My unfunny joke is ruined now.

?? - where? Maybe your modern deisel engine is quiet - but direct injection common rail diesels are very noisy compared to the old pre comp chamber diesels.

I think he's quote with the bonnet down!! [which weight half a ton with noise deadening material in it!]

[JimO]

never opened the bonnet on any of the seven of them apart from putting water in the washer bottle

I know I'm in a DID of any brand soon as I put my foot down - it sounds like a concrete mixer under the bonnet.They are way noisier than a pre comp diesel.You need a hearing test - it's free,and so are the hearing aids.Works for me.....

We were just commenting today how noisy the Rodeo DID on the yard is - you can hear it start up wherever you are.You need to get out more...listen to a few diesels,see which ones make the most noise.

i have had 7 hiluxes, 2 mitsys and a chevvy V8 deisel, my current hilux is quieter than everything else i have owned a mate has a new navara and the hilux is quiter than that, the rodeo / colorado is a rattly old peice of poos

[Motu]

I drive that many different diesels a day....and I have hearing aids!

Oh,so now it's just your Hi Lux and not DID in general? Your Hi Lux is quieter because of soundproofing.
