2000 X5 4,4i Engine sound
 

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased my X5 and i have noticed that once the engine is running at normal temperature it makes a strange knocking sound almost like a diesel. You can only hear it if you turn of the A/C and stand still with the car. Is this normal? The frequency of the sound follows the engines rpm.

Thanks!

if it is just a little, then it is normal. if it sounds loudly, check engine belt or puley.

Thanks!

Do you know if there is a place online where you can find movies/sounds of the 4,4i engine so i have something to compare with? How does yours sound?

You can hear my 4.4 engine on the right channel: http://www.macjams.com/song/39546
