Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 1:33 am
I am driving a Pajero short wheel base,Automatic 3.5l V6, Petrol, 2000 Model, it has now done 264000 km, I have recently worked on the crankshaft and changed the bearings, water and oil pump after engine seized. it has been running smoothly for the past four months. last week on an off road expedition, it started a rattling noise when iddling, when i engage and move forward or back, the noise dissappears, but when slowing down at a traffic light or so, the noise comes back, it once showed the oil light on the dashboard, but when checking the engine oil level, it was ok, even the following day before starting the car. The temperature is ok, not high.
