you forgot the extortionate price of them

Ford have never made a quiet diesel.
The older they get, the louder the knock.....inbuilt knock to remind you you have an agricultural oil burner under the bonnet.
Why not give Glenn or Ian a ring and ask them what Peugot Main Dealer we use 01580 883061

He also informed me my engine would sound like it was "pinking" when accelerating from cold for a short while, something about the ECU not letting the engine develop full power and advancing the ignition to improve combustion when it is cold.

Just found this thread. I have a new Auto-Sleeper with this engine. It behaves exactly like this and I just wondered if yours is still the same. Mine rattles and clatters when first started from cold. It then settles down and performs well, if perhaps not quite as smoothly as the 2.3 fiat we had before. But its livelier than the fiat.Already posted this on the Autosleeper forum and am considering contacting Peugeot to see what they say. Just as a bit of background, the engine runs fine, smooth with plenty of power, so, here goes.....
We have a 2013 Autosleeper Broadway FB on a Peugeot base ( 2.2 HDI Euro 5). The engine has always sounded noisy for a spilt second when starting, sounds like a bus as it starts but settles down to idle quietly immediately . I expected it to quiten down as the engine bedded in, but after 5000 miles it's still the same, so I guess that's how it's going to stay.
But when cold, if I start it then drive with anything less than a very light right foot straight away, I get a loud diesel clattering in each gear, the noise usually goes by the time I am in fourth then engine is very quiet and it runs very smoothly, well, as smooth as a Peugeot/ Ford engine can!
I also noticed in December, when it was really cold(-5) I accelerated from cold up a steep hill and the clattering continued for a while, in fact the engine sounded noisy for a good few miles on tick over and acceleration then I suddenly noticed it was quiet again next time we stopped.
Anybody else have the same base vehicle with associated clattering or is it just mine? Just a thought, it may only do this ( apart from the startup) on French diesel, if usually has a full tank of it.

Hi,No complaints with its performance, pretty nippy and not bad on fuel, I get around 28 mpg and I don't dawdle.
What model Autosleeper have you got? You don't see many of the newer ones around

Almost forgot, Peugeot also said that the fuel quality will have an effect on the engine noise. We have used French diesel ( usually the cheapest supermarket fuel) for at least the last 8 months. Must fill up with UK fuel and see if that makes a difference.
