    Hissing noise after switch off - 07 320CDI Diesel Esate

    Hissing noise after switch off - 07 320CDI Diesel Esate

    Aircon IS turned on, but it's much more like the hissing of a radiator or punctured tyre, neither of which it appears to be. I can imagine it might be some sort of leak from the Air Con, but there are no smells or odours at all, and you can hear the same sound standing next to the wing/bonnet.

    Hissing noise after switch off - 07 320CDI Diesel Esate

    Noticed recently, that after turning the engine off, there is a hissing noise from somewhere under the bonnet that lasts for about 15 seconds, then dies away over 3-4 seconds. Sometimes think I can hear it randomly inside the car when driving, again last for maybe 20 seconds then fades. No other...

    Grey-ish/white smoke on accelaration...?

    Given that the engine seems to normally rev at a pretty low level (and given my normally fairly conservative driving style), what is a good target for revs to be at for the 10-1 minutes or so? Thanks.

    Grey-ish/white smoke on accelaration...?

    Hah! Interesting point, rarely push the car above 75 to be honest, and only then for 10 minutes at a time maybe. Even at 75 the revs are low-ish - what sort of rev level are we talking about and for how long? Thanks.

    Grey-ish/white smoke on accelaration...?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'm probably more concerned about the smoke on accelaration - I've never had a diesel before, and never had a car that's smoked like this either...! Thanks.

    E320 Estate Revisions History

    Thanks very much for the replies so far. Gradually narrowing down the list to; Diesel. 06 or 07. 320 or 280 (would a remapped 280 be as good as a 320?). Looking for around 25-45K miles to be realistic. Want a reasonable spec (current '95 320 Est is a good spec). Wife wants heated seats (which...

    E320 Estate Revisions History

    I'm looking to get a replacement for my current '95, Petrol, E320 Avante Garde Estate, 135K (offers? :D), and I'm looking at something very similar just newer - probably around a 06-07 plate. I already know the appx spec I'm looking for(based on 280 or 320 prob), but I have a basic question...
