Mitsubishi L200 - L200 noise help - JVehicle
Hi there.

I currently have a noise what sounds like a grinding type noise coming from my L200.

This noise only appears once the vehicle is up to temperature and only does it when it hits 1500rpm. It will stop again after passing 1500rpm.
This is when driving and also when in neutral revving the engine.

A local garage has had a look and they think it could be the DPF causing the noise. They informed me they took the turbo apart to see if anything there is causing it and they put a smoke machine on the car to see if any holes are present, they could not find any issues.

They have just told me to monitor the noise and see if it gets worse/affects performance.

Has anyone had a similar issue/got any advice on this please?

Many thanks!

If it's temperature dependent and not linked to movement I'd be looking at the water pump.

Inconclusive, but it seems very common
